English citations of quintate, quintating, and quintates

• 1812, Emanuel Swedenborg [aut.] and J. Clowes [tr.], Arcana Cœlestia; or Heavenly Mysteries contained in the Sacred Scriptures, or Word of the Lord, Manifested and Laid Open; beginning with the Book of Genesis. Interspersed with Relations of Wonderful Things seen in the World of Spirits and the Heaven of Angels., volume VII (2nd ed.; J. Gleave, 196, Deansgate), chapter xli: verse 34 (page 210)⁽¹⁾ and note 5291 (page 270)⁽²⁾

  ⁽¹⁾ Let Pharaoh do [this] and let him set governors over the land, and let him quintate^✸ the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance of provision.

  ✸ It may be expedient to inform the unlearned reader, that quintate signifies to take a fifth of any thing, and is derived from the Latin quintus, signifying a fifth, as decimate is derived from decimus, signifying a tenth.

  ⁽²⁾ “And let him quintate the land” — that hereby is signified which were to be preserved and afterwards stored up, appears from the signification of quintating, as here involving the like with decimating [tithing or taking a tenth][.]

• 1851, “The Dispensatory of the United States of America” (9th ed.^?), quoted in the Journal of Materia Medica, volume 14 (1875), page 49

  Potentilla Reptans, Cinquefoil, a perennial, creeping, European herb, with leaves which are usually quintate, and have thus given origin to the ordinary name of the plant.

• 1880, Lucius Elmer Sayre, Conspectus of Organic Materia Medica and Pharmacal Botany (G.S. Davis), page 127

  The radical leaves, stand on long footstalks, are ternate or quintate, with lobed and dentate leaflets.

• 1882, Vick’s Monthly Magazine (J. Vick), volume 5, page 167

  The large quintate leaves constitute a luxuriant, glossy green foliage, admirably adapted for covering walls and making unsightly outhouses beautiful and inviting to the eye.

• 1889, Report of Proceedings … at the … Annual Meeting …^?, volumes 10–16, page 193

  Compound leaves, we perceived, when this field we did scan,
  To be formed on the radiate and pinnate plan.
  Of the latter, pari-pinnate and impari-pinnate we found,
  And other pinnates, until we came to pinnate decompound.
  As to radiates, these are ternates and quintates, two in number,
  From among which we “plucked the four-leaf clover.”
  Then came others, which were termed special modified leaves,
  Such as bud-scales, spines, and tendrils, all of which nature gives for protection,
  And we note them among our collection.

• 1913, W.C. Eells, “Number Systems of the North American Indians” in The American Mathematical Monthly (Mathematical Association of America), volume 20, page 294

  As already mentioned a pure quinary system is very rare, if indeed one exists. The pure form would require only five elements and is of course 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 + 1, 5 + 2, 5 + 3, 5 + 4, 2 × 5, and so on to 3 × 5, 4 × 5, and 5 × 5 as a new primary base. There are various approximations to such a system. Even 10 as “2 × 5” is uncommon although several instances of this have already been given. We have as variations for the numbers from 6 to 9, 6 = X + 1 (“X” standing for some descriptive, non-numerical word), 7 = X + 2, etc., arising from such forms of thought as “again 1,” “second 1,” “1 more,” “on the other, 1,” the numerals of the second quintate repeating without the use of the expressed base five. One or more of these forms may be entirely lacking, 8 being expressed “2 × 4” and similarly. But only in case at least two of the numbers between 5 and 10 show such a formation have we classed it as quinary. Nine is a frequent variation, since it is so often expressed by the subtractive principle. With these explanations we may state that quinary systems occur in about one third of the languages examined, appearing most frequently in the region around the Gulf of Mexico and least in the languages along the Northwest Coast.

  The second area which was studied was the MCD (magnetic circular dichroism) spectrum of the above complexes. In this case, it reveals two new terms in the spectra. It was clear from these spectra that the spin forbidden bends have an A term as well as a B term. This study also allows us to place the quintate state near the first singlet state. Consequently this means that it excludes any participation of the quintet state near the first singlet state in the mechanism of reaction.
