[edit]Should we mention basal cleavage in graphite and cubic cleavage in table salt, or would that be spurious?--Joel 22:14, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
- Why not? If it's a real phenomena that we could write an article about, and someone might conceivably look for it under 'cleavage' then I'd say go for it. Intrigue 05:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- You're right. The relevant info is now on cleavage_(crystal)--the conversion to a disambig page was a bit frustrating at first, but I think I've gotten used to it.--Joel 07:38, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
'== Use of the word cleave ==
I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question or not --
What is the difference between cleavage and cleave? The definitions that I find here talk about separating two things (i.e. bond cleavage ) -- but, in the bible it uses the word 'cleave' as if it is two things being joined together. Is this ambiguous, or am I just not looking at it in the right light.
- Cleave can mean either "join together" or "split apart". It's the best-known example of a contranym—a word that can be its own antonym. —Charles P._(Mirv) 02:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Is this actually used, or just a joke? I don't mind letting it stay even if it's not serious. MartinPool 02:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
