col

n.

A pass between two mountain peaks or a gap in a ridge.

[French, from Old French, neck, from Latin collum.]

(kol, rhymes with doll)
noun

A mountain pass.

[From French col (neck), from Latin collum (neck). Ultimately from the Indo-European root kwel- (to revolve) that is also the source of words such as colony, cult, culture, cycle, cyclone, chakra, and collar.]

Usage:

"Car rental presented the first obstacle. No major company allows its vehicles on Saddle Road, which runs across the 6,600-foot-high col between the two peaks, much less anywhere near the summits themselves." — James Dannenberg; Trying for a peak experience on Big Island; San Francisco Chronicle; Aug 24, 2008.

(kôl)
n

Refers to a depression in the gingival tissue of the interdental papilla inferior to the contact.

1. In the landscape, a pass between two peaks or ridges. Landscape cols may have been formed by: the headward erosion of a cirque, river capture, the beheading of dip-slope valleys by scarp retreat, or the localized differential erosion of a ridge.

2. In meteorology, a narrow belt of relatively low pressure, but not a depression, between two anticyclones. Here, isobars are few and therefore winds are slack.

A slight depression in the underlying interdental papilla where two teeth contact each other.
