Having the form or nature of a bleat; resembling the cry of a sheep or goat.
From Latin 'forma' (form) combined with 'blate' or related to 'bleat.' The suffix '-form' means 'having the shape or characteristics of' (as in 'uniform' or 'multiform').
This ultra-rare word shows how English can be endlessly productive—we just plug '-form' onto other words to mean 'shaped like X.' Medieval scholars probably coined 'blatiform' to describe sheep sounds, but it never caught on.
