I can only find mentions, not uses — and not even three mentions! Equinox 23:51, 19 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Google cyanope (BooksGroupsScholar) and Google glaucope (BooksGroupsScholar) show a lot of English scholarly use, mostly in Google Scholar. DCDuring TALK 20:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
I wouldn't call it a lot: one or two uses all referring to the same original paper. DTLHS (talk) 20:28, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Merriam-Webster

[edit]

M-W disagrees with us on this..... they say it means fair hair and blue eyes ..... which leads me to think this word might be little-used and difficult to pin down. Still, it's definitely a point in our favor that we've found examples of this word in use in three unrelated scientific papers and they all agree with us. So our definition is valid. All that's left is to see if MW's definition is also valid. Soap 08:19, 14 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
