Since frena/frenula are found in various interesting parts of the body :-)
we do need to be correct and specify which frenum/frenulum we are talking
about :-) (ie: fenulum linguae). I think the distinction may come from
what the frenum/frenulum made of. Frenulum is a small fold of white matter
and frenula is a fold of mucus membrane which conects 2 parts, one more or
less moveable and serves to check movement. Also size may be a factor in
use, fenulum-small bridle and fenum-bridle) SYN. is vinculum - a dividing
band or bundle. And why are we discussing this??? :-) Because we want
others to understand us ??? Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
