An alternate form of clinocephalic, meaning having an inclined or sloping head or skull.
From Greek klino- (to slope) plus kephalē (head) plus -ous (adjective suffix), creating a variant adjectival form describing this skull characteristic.
The existence of multiple forms—clinocephalic, clinocephalous, clinocephalus—shows how 19th-century scientists created elaborate anatomical terminology even for categories that turned out to be scientifically meaningless!
