Sounding in two different ways or having a dual sound quality; archaic term describing something that produces two distinct tones or meanings.
From Latin 'bi-' (two) plus 'sonare' (to sound). The -ant suffix suggests a state or quality. This is an obsolete or extremely rare term from older English.
