 Crypt definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Crypt: In anatomy, a crypt is variously a blind alley, a tube with no exit, a depression, or a pit -- in an otherwise fairly flat surface.
Cryptic in the case of the tonsils refer to the tonsillar crypts which are little pitlike depressions in the tonsils.
Thus, cryptic tonsillitis may be hidden, concealed because it is down in the pits (of the tonsil).

The same shape of genitalia (the Mandorla) was found in the majority of the Sheila-Na-Gigs that were carved on the top of doorways (usually at the pinnacle of a pointed or lancet arch) in the early churches and on some Cathedrals.
Mandorla "Almond," the pointed-oval sign of the yoni, used in Oriental art to signify the divine female genital; also called vesic~ piscis, the Vessel of the Fish.
