Endothecit: In a syntact Syndimychit, an endogenously formed union of many tightly packed Mych which constitutes a permanent form enclosed by a solid coat. Morphologically, it is itself a syntact Syndimychit. At present, its occurrence is limited to the genus Schaudinnum Enderl. It is ca. 5 long and represents the most evolved fructification.

Euprobaen: The rapid progression of Probaenogeny. See Bradybaen.

Eurystatic: Long Mychostasis. See stenostatic. Thus, an Ascit can be along the long axis and still be stenostatic, or be along the short axis and still be eurystatic.

Formante: Any structurally, phsiologically or biologically characterizable phenominonological stage within each of the morphologically established Cyclostages (isostatic Formante). If a Cyclostage cannot be achieved in pure form, then it is regarded as merely a mixostatic Formante. The concept Formante supplants the totally erroneous term mutant, which has a completely different biological significance.

Genode: This is the sum of all generations between two culturings (e.g. after two Agar culturings). Koch was the first to use the erroneous term "generation" for this concept.

Gonascit: An Ascit that is either in the process of creating or has created one or more Gonidies.

Gonidie (Cohn 1870): A Mychit, usually covered with a fine membrane, as fructification in the Cyclogeny of the Dimychota. It is produced either by the expulsion of the excess Mychoses after Protozygy in the Dimychit or in the Dimychose, or by the decay of a Dimychit (Plastit). As, for example, the Mychit of the Monomychoten, it can reproduce itself through fission by entering the Basit stage.

Gonit: The Mychomerit of the Gonidie prior to the formation of the Spermit and Oit. By itself, it is not capable of development or reproduction and so dies out if the conditions for conjugation don't arise.

Hemicyclomorpha (plural): The Dimychoten cycle.

Heteromorphous Arthrogony: A morphologically nonequivalent fission. Auxanogeny recedes into the background relative to Probaenogeny (e.g. Gonidie formation in the Ascit).

Holocyclomorpha (plural): The Dimychoten cycle.

Gonomere (hist. cf. Haecker): The semi-nucleus of gametes (ovum, spermatozöon) after bisection of the Caryon and expulsion of the other half.

Gonomerit: The gamete containing a semi-nucleus (Gonomere) after bisection of the Caryon and expulsion of the other half.
