The inferior                conjunction of an inferior planet is its position when                in conjunction on the same side of the sun with the                earth; the superior conjunction of a planet is its                position when on the side of the sun most distant from                the earth.          3. (Gram.) A connective or connecting word; an indeclinable             word which serves to join together sentences, clauses of a             sentence, or words; as, and, but, if.                         Though all conjunctions conjoin sentences, yet, with                      respect to the sense, some are conjunctive and some                      disjunctive.                                       --Harris.

d8Symbiosis \[d8]Sym`bi*o"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr.

When there is             bodily union (in extreme cases so close that the two form             practically a single body, as in the union of alg[91] and             fungi to form lichens, and in the inclusion of alg[91] in             radiolarians) it is called          {conjunctive symbiosis}; if there is no actual union of the             organisms (as in the association of ants with             myrmecophytes),          {disjunctive symbiosis}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Consonant \Con"so*nant\, n. [L. consonans, -antis.]       An articulate sound which in utterance is usually combined       and sounded with an open sound called a vowel; a member of       the spoken alphabet other than a vowel; also, a letter or       character representing such a sound.          Note: Consonants are divided into various classes, as mutes,                spirants, sibilants, nasals, semivowels, etc. All of                them are sounds uttered through a closer position of                the organs than that of a vowel proper, although the                most open of them, as the semivowels and nasals, are                capable of being used as if vowels, and forming                syllables with other closer consonants, as in the                English feeble (-b'l), taken (-k'n). All the consonants                excepting the mutes may be indefinitely, prolonged in                utterance without the help of a vowel, and even the                mutes may be produced with an aspirate instead of a                vocal explosion. Vowels and consonants may be regarded                as the two poles in the scale of sounds produced by                gradual approximation of the organ, of speech from the                most open to the closest positions, the vowel being                more open, the consonant closer; but there is a                territory between them where the sounds produced                partake of the qualities of both.          Note: [bd]A consonant is the result of audible friction,                squeezing, or stopping of the breath in some part of                the mouth (or occasionally of the throath.) The main                distinction between vowels and consonants is, that                while in the former the mouth configuration merely                modifies the vocalized breath, which is therefore an                essential element of the vowels, in consonants the                narrowing or stopping of the oral passage is the                foundation of the sound, and the state of the glottis                is something secondary.[b8] --H. Sweet.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Consonant \Con"so*nant\, n. [L. consonans, -antis.]       An articulate sound which in utterance is usually combined       and sounded with an open sound called a vowel; a member of       the spoken alphabet other than a vowel; also, a letter or       character representing such a sound.          Note: Consonants are divided into various classes, as mutes,                spirants, sibilants, nasals, semivowels, etc. All of                them are sounds uttered through a closer position of                the organs than that of a vowel proper, although the                most open of them, as the semivowels and nasals, are                capable of being used as if vowels, and forming                syllables with other closer consonants, as in the                English feeble (-b'l), taken (-k'n). All the consonants                excepting the mutes may be indefinitely, prolonged in                utterance without the help of a vowel, and even the                mutes may be produced with an aspirate instead of a                vocal explosion. Vowels and consonants may be regarded                as the two poles in the scale of sounds produced by                gradual approximation of the organ, of speech from the                most open to the closest positions, the vowel being                more open, the consonant closer; but there is a                territory between them where the sounds produced                partake of the qualities of both.          Note: [bd]A consonant is the result of audible friction,                squeezing, or stopping of the breath in some part of                the mouth (or occasionally of the throath.) The main                distinction between vowels and consonants is, that                while in the former the mouth configuration merely                modifies the vocalized breath, which is therefore an                essential element of the vowels, in consonants the                narrowing or stopping of the oral passage is the                foundation of the sound, and the state of the glottis                is something secondary.[b8] --H. Sweet.

d8Lautverschiebung \[d8]Laut"ver*schie`bung\, n.; pl.       {-schiebungen}.

CMU Common Lisp          (CMU CL) A {public domain} "industrial strength" {Common Lisp}       programming environment.   Many of the {X3J13} changes have       been incorporated into CMU CL.   Wherever possible, this has       been done so as to transparently allow use of either {CLtL1}       or proposed {ANSI CL}.   Probably the new features most       interesting to users are {SETF} functions, {LOOP} and the       {WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT} {macro}.          The new CMU CL compiler is called {Python}.          Version 17c includes an {incremental compiler}, profiler,       run-time support, documentation, an editor and a debugger.   It       runs under {Mach} on {SPARC}, {MIPS} and {IBM PC RT} and under       {SunOS} on {SPARC}.          {(ftp://lisp-sun1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu/pub/)}.          E-mail: .          (1993-11-18)

concentrator          A device that combines the data streams from       many simultaneously active inputs into one shared channel in       such a way that the streams can be separated after       transmission.   The concentrator's output bandwidth must be at       least as great as the total bandwidth of all simultaneously       active inputs.   A concentrator is one kind of {multiplexing}       device.          For example, a concentrator may be used to connect 24 2400 bps       TTYs to a host via a 57600 bps channel.          (2000-03-01)

Conway, John Horton          {John Horton Conway}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Conscience       that faculty of the mind, or inborn sense of right and wrong, by       which we judge of the moral character of human conduct. It is       common to all men. Like all our other faculties, it has been       perverted by the Fall (John 16:2; Acts 26:9; Rom. 2:15). It is       spoken of as "defiled" (Titus 1:15), and "seared" (1 Tim. 4:2).       A "conscience void of offence" is to be sought and cultivated       (Acts 24:16; Rom. 9:1; 2 Cor. 1:12; 1 Tim. 1:5, 19; 1 Pet.       3:21).
