It seems the client unnecessory put an extra 'n' Thanks to all of you. This word was really pinching my curiosity. I think Mr. Henrique's suggestion is right. But thanks to Mr. Dave Calderhead also for his timely help.
Rachel Fell Feb 14, 2006:
So it is (a separate word); but I agree with Henrique that it must refer to the flower/seed head formation, and it has been written as "pannicle" erroneously.
Henrique Serra Feb 14, 2006:
Based on the context you provided (i.e., there is a reference to pearl millet), you should be 100% sure that we are not talking about a garment, but a plant structure here. In millet (Poaceae, a grass), the panicle ultimately bears the grain or yield.
Mrudula Tambe (asker) Feb 14, 2006:
But Pannicle is also a separate word as per
http://phrontistery.info/p.html/word?word=pannicle

Pannicle is thin sheet-like vestment. But the document I was translating describes pannicle shape Long, Spindle shaped/ semi-compact so it could be panicle = flower-head but I'm not sure. Because same word pannicle appears thrice in different documents.

panicle

Hi, Mrudula.

There is a nice scheme or drawing of a panicle here:

Also, the spelling should be panicle (1 "n" only). It is the inflorescence (cluster of flowers) in some plants, especially grasses.

I can't help with your Hindi - you will either have to provide more context in your English to Hindi question, or use the online dictionary to help you decide what is the correct answer. Have you looked through it? It is a very extensive explanation.

In any event, pearl millet is a red herring thrown up by Google because of the title of a book that is referred to in the webster-online information.

This is as far as I can go for you.
