If the moranie is at the extremity of the glacier it is a terminal moranie; if at the side, a lateral moranie; if parallel to the side on the central portion of the glacier, a medial moranie. In the last case it is formed by the union of the lateral moranies of the branches of the glacier. A ground moranie is one beneath the mass of ice. Origin: F. Cf. Prov. G. Mur stones broken off, It. Mora a heap of stones, hillock, G. Murbe soft, broken up, OHG. Muruwi, AS. Mearu tender, Gr. To cause to wither, Skr. Mla to relax. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
