Word of the Day: Epicanthic

I learned a new word today. Epicanthic. I was reading a book called Dune Messiah that referred to someone who had epicanthic eyes. So I looked it up. The word is normally used in the noun 'epicanthic fold'. It refers to the fold of the eyelid the comes down over the inner part of the eye and is common in Asians. Here's a picture to explain. I think you are like the second picture where it's not as pronounced as in mommy. We'll have to take some pictures to compare.
