Examples

“The party left the town of Martaban on the 20th March⟳; they passed two grassy and level islands just above the junction of the Gyein river with the main one. […] This inosculating river is about half the breadth of the Sanloon.”

“Clouds sometimes inosculate with smoke⟳. Howard mentions several cases in his Journals. "The smoke⟳ of London," he observes, "when passing away in a body swelled up into distinct heaps, each of which inosculated at its summit with a small Cloud. Groups of Cumulo Stratus, the Cumulus and Cirro Stratus occupied the South part of the sky attracting smoke⟳."”

“But that, alas! is impossible. Hearken to the nature of the fix⟳ in which I find⟳ myself, and say⟳ if you ever heard of a worse.

The several monthly divisions of the journal may inosculate, but not the several volumes.”
