From the Word of the Day:
amygdaliform a·myg·da·li·form [uh-mig-duh-luh-fawrm] adjective
almond-shaped
She is naturally blonde, pale, with amygdaliform eyes and high cheekbones.
- Gulnar Nazarkhan, The Secret World
This is a word I didn't know and don't think I've ever seen it. I know I've never heard it used in conversation. It's also a word that I think is unnecessary. Instead of saying someone has amygdaliform eyes, why not just say they have almond-shaped eyes? At least people would understand what you meant and not have to go look it up.
