Potance :: Potance (n.) The stud in which the bearing for the lower pivot of the verge is made.

Myopia :: Myopia (n.) Nearsightedness; shortsightedness; a condition of the eye in which the rays from distant object are brought to a focus before they reach the retina, and hence form an indistinct image; while the rays from very near objects are normally converged so as to produce a distinct image. It is corrected by the use of a concave lens..

Marge :: Marge (n.) Border; margin; edge; verge.

Infurcation :: Infurcation (n.) A forked exlpansion or divergence; a bifurcation; a branching.

Deviate :: Deviate (v. i.) To go out of the way; to turn aside from a course or a method; to stray or go astray; to err; to digress; to diverge; to vary.

Bargeboard :: Bargeboard (n.) A vergeboard.

Verge :: Verge (n.) The shaft of a column, or a small ornamental shaft..

Alternate :: Alternate (a.) Distributed, as leaves, singly at different heights of the stem, and at equal intervals as respects angular divergence..

Verge :: Verge (n.) The edge of the tiling projecting over the gable of a roof.

Edge :: Edge (v. t.) Any sharp terminating border; a margin; a brink; extreme verge; as, the edge of a table, a precipice..

Convergence :: Convergence (n.) Alt. of Convergenc.

Aberrate :: Aberrate (v. i.) To go astray; to diverge.

Verge :: Verge (v. i.) To tend downward; to bend; to slope; as, a hill verges to the north..

Aberration :: Aberration (n.) The convergence to different foci, by a lens or mirror, of rays of light emanating from one and the same point, or the deviation of such rays from a single focus; called spherical aberration, when due to the spherical form of the lens or mirror, such form giving different foci for central and marginal rays; and chromatic aberration, when due to different refrangibilities of the colored rays of the spectrum, those of each color having a distinct focus..

Diverging :: Diverging (a.) Tending in different directions from a common center; spreading apart; divergent.

Corona :: Corona (n.) A peculiar phase of the aurora borealis, formed by the concentration or convergence of luminous beams around the point in the heavens indicated by the direction of the dipping needle..

Vergency :: Vergency (n.) The reciprocal of the focal distance of a lens, used as measure of the divergence or convergence of a pencil of rays..

Convergent :: Convergent (a.) tending to one point of focus; tending to approach each other; converging.

Verge :: Verge (n.) The spindle of a watch balance, especially one with pallets, as in the old vertical escapement. See under Escapement..

Homogeny :: Homogeny (n.) The correspondence of common descent; -- a term used to supersede homology by Lankester, who also used homoplasy to denote any superinduced correspondence of position and structure in parts embryonically distinct (other writers using the term homoplasmy). Thus, there is homogeny between the fore limb of a mammal and the wing of a bird; but the right and left ventricles of the heart in both are only in homoplasy with each other, these having arisen independently since the divergence
