Having never seen this word before, I tried looking it up at Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary but it's not listed. I then tried looking it up in Britannica Online; the word does not occur in the article Stalactite and Stalagmite. Finally I tried a general web search for the word on Bing and Google. The only references I found were to Wikimedia projects and one reference to an analogical use in medicine describing kidney pathology. It seems inconceivable that this word would not appear in web pages discussing geology or speleology, so I conclude it's probably a neologism. Furthermore, the only reference cited on this page is to a Wikidata page. This article is linked by over 100 pages, but as far as I could tell, only by virtue of its inclusion in Category:Speleothems. --Unconventional (talk) 14:50, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
