English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
hydroxy- + kenomicrolite, derived from hydrokenomicrolite and for having a hydroxide anion. The keno- prefix embedded derives from κενός (kenós, “empty”) and is used often in microlite-group minerals for an unknown reason, apparently for a lack of something in the crystalline structure.
Noun[edit]
hydroxykenomicrolite (uncountable)
