I am looking for a word beginning with 'o' that means the gap between eyebrows without much success. Mar 20 05, 12:23 PM

I found this for the space between the eyebrows, but it seems I've heard it called something else too. gla·bel·la n., pl. -bel·lae (-bel'e).The smooth area between the eyebrows just above the nose http://www.answers.com/topic/glabella Mar 20 05, 2:17 PM

Also found mesophryon. The most forward projecting point of the forehead in the midline of the supraorbital ridges. Also called mesophryon. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=glabella Mar 20 05, 3:14 PM

Maggie Simpson's monobrowed nemesis did come to mind when I asked the question. McGruff has come very close to answering this one... Mar 20 05, 5:46 PM

What about ophryon, then? http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ophryon Mar 20 05, 6:46 PM

Yay Maggie! Glad the question wasn't too eyebrow for you! Mar 20 05, 6:54 PM

I beg to differ. Not that ophryon was not the intended answer, but as the definition for ophryon clearly states it is above the glabella, "The point on the midline of the forehead just above the glabella," and the definition for glabella or mesophryon states "between the eyes" I don't think they're the same place, and someone with a monobrow still has a visible ophryon, but a hairy and hidden mesophryon.

I agree, McG, and was quietly hoping nobody would notice! My question wasn't inspired by the most rigorous source material in the world: http://www.canongate.net/Lists/Words/33NamesOfThingsYouNeverKne Mar 21 05, 4:48 PM
