An alternative or obsolete plural form of 'ginglymus,' referring to multiple hinge-type joints.
From Latin 'ginglymus' with '-ni' as a potential plural ending. This form represents an unsuccessful attempt at Latinization that never standardized in medical usage.
Latin offered multiple ways to make plurals, and medieval scholars experimented with different options—'ginglyni' lost out to 'ginglymi' because one sounded better or more official to the doctors using it!
