From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Neolithic \Ne`o*lith"ic\, a. [Neo- + -lith + -ic.] (Arch[91]ol.
      & Geol.)
      Of or pertaining to, or designating, an era characterized by
      late remains in stone.
  
               The Neolithic era includes the latter half of the
               [bd]Stone age;[b8] the human relics which belong to it
               are associated with the remains of animals not yet
               extinct. The kitchen middens of Denmark, the lake
               dwellings of Switzerland, and the stockaded islands, or
               [bd]crannogs,[b8] of the British Isles, belong to this
               era.                                                      --Lubbock.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Nilotic \Ni*lot"ic\, a. [L. Niloticus, fr. Nilus th Nile, Gr.
      [?]: cf. F. nilotique.]
      Of or pertaining to the river Nile; as, the Nilotic
      crocodile.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Nullity \Nul"li*ty\, n.; pl. {Nullities}. [LL. nullitias, fr. L.
      nullus none: cf. F. nullit[82] . See {Null}.]
      1. The quality or state of being null; nothingness; want of
            efficacy or force.
  
      2. (Law) Nonexistence; as, a decree of nullity of marriage is
            a decree that no legal marriage exists.
  
      3. That which is null.
  
                     Was it not absurd to say that the convention was
                     supreme in the state, and yet a nullity ?
                                                                              --Macaulay.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   niladic
  
      A less common synonym for "{nullary}",
      presumably following the more common {monadic}, {dyadic}, etc.
      The term was in use as early as 1976, and probably originated
      in {APL}.
  
      [APL: An Interactive Approach, 1976].
