Dorland and Stedman state differently SM

Subject: Dorland and Stedman state differently SM

ostiomeatal (os�tio�me�a�tal) (os�te-o-me-a�təl) [ostium + meatal] pertaining to an opening (ostium) and a meatus, especially in the nasal cavity.

I respect your link, but I can find many words spelled incorrectly on the 'net. One must go with trusted sources.

I made this mistake for years and was never corrected until... well, thats another story!
