Yet Another YAKU

(YAKU: anther)

What’s an anther?

No idea, but it brings to mind Ogden Nash’s sage advice:

When called by a panther, don’t anther.

No, seriously, what’s an anther? It looks like a contract () with grass (grassrad.png) on top. What could it mean?

Oh, OK, sheesh. Hang on….

Here you go. “Anther” is a botanical term meaning “the pollen-bearing part of a stamen.”

Happy now?
