A couple of days ago, I wrote this on "blooming" and the blather box underlined it as error, but Merriam-Webster agrees with me: it's a word that means star-shaped. It's just not super common. A cool thing I discovered just now: it's also a small press operating out of Hamilton, Ontario. They focus on sci-fi and literary fiction about climate and environmental topics: www.stelliform.press

epitome of incomprehensibility

....But with such an elegant word as this, I should be "epitome of incomprehensibility" first. Alack, the pit of prehensibility not adhering to her own rules.

His brain was a sky, bright with stelliform cells, branching dendrites flaring from dense cores, so many constellations of thought and memory, traversing the vacuum towards distant atmospheres. Now the stars go out, one by one. Their fires smothered by plaques and tangles, black holes swallowing sight, swallowing self, swallowing hope. These are not the sort of stars you wish upon: the black dwarf, cold, without any light to call its own.
