COANE

Volume 5 · 80 words · 1797 Edition

among the Greeks, a name given to a peculiar species of tutia or tutty, which was always found in a tubular form. It had its name from τούτος, a word used to express a sort of cylindrical tube, into which the melted brass was received from the furnace, and in which it was suffered to cool. In cooling, it always deposited a sort of crecent on the sides of the vessel or tube, and this was the tutty called coane.
