使用する際の注意点

• This word is found in some editions of Julius Firmicus Maternus's Matheseos libri, where it is taken to mean "crescent-shaped" based on the presumed Greek etymon; however, other editions have monoīdēs (which is taken to mean "having a single form, uniform" based on its presumed etymon), and it is not clear which editions are correct and which have miswritten the word. Both words are also attested elsewhere.
