| Kyriological | Kyriological \Kyr`i*o*log"ic*al\, a. [See {Curiologic}.] Serving to denote objects by conventional signs or alphabetical characters; as, the original Greek alphabet of sixteen letters was called kyriologic, because it represented the pure elementary sounds. See {Curiologic}. [Written also {curiologic} and {kuriologic}.] [1913 Webster] Note: The term is also applied, as by Warburton, to those Egyptian hieroglyphics, in which a part is put conventionally for the whole, as in depicting a battle by two hands, one holding a shield and the other a bow. |
