Genou

Genuflexio

(From genu, the knee, and flecto, to bend). Kneeling. In kneeling, the ossa pubis are lower than when we stand; and this not only increases the hollow of the loins, and throws the belly and its viscera more forward, but in some measure strains the abdominal muscles; occasioning syncope from the uneasiness. This depression of the os pubis in kneeling depends partly on the tension of the musculi recti ante-riores, the lower tendons of which are, in this situation, drawn with violence under the condyloid pulley of the os femoris.

The fossil usually employed is an ocre, an ore of iron, sometimes a sulphurated iron; but the term by naturalists is confined to rounded stones containing a cavity which is sometimes filled with water.
