The plural form of bregma; multiple points on skulls where parietal and frontal bones meet.
Standard Greek plural of 'bregma' (bregma → bregmata). Greek plurals ending in -a are preserved in medical and scientific English, unlike regular English plurals which use -s.
Scientists keep Greek and Latin plurals for fancy words—so we say 'bregmata' not 'bregmas,' the same way we say 'phenomena' not 'phenomenas,' keeping alive the language of ancient scholars!
