To join (two pieces of film, for example) at the ends.

The groove or slot for such a projection.

To join (ropes, for example) by interweaving strands.

A flexible piece of wood, hard rubber, or metal used in drawing curves.

To join (pieces of wood) by overlapping and binding at the ends.

A wooden or metal strip; a slat.

To join together or insert (segments of DNA or RNA) so as to form new genetic combinations or alter a genetic structure.

Long thin piece of metal or wood.

(Slang) To join in marriage

(woodworking) A strip of wood or other material inserted into grooves in each of two pieces of wood to provide additional surface for gluing.

A joining by splicing.

A flexible strip of metal or other material, that may be bent into a curve and used in a similar manner to a ruler to draw smooth curves between points.

A place where parts have been spliced.

Any of a number of smooth curves used to join points. Category:en:Curves

(nautical) A junction or joining of ropes made by splicing them together.

A rectangular piece that fits grooves like key seats in a hub and a shaft, so that while the one may slide endwise on the other, both must revolve together.

(electrical) The electrical and mechanical connection between two pieces of wire or cable.

(mechanics) Ridges or teeth on a drive shaft that mesh with grooves in a mating piece and transfer torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them.

(cricket) That part of a bat where the handle joins the blade.

To smooth (a curve or surface) by means of a spline.

Bonding or joining of overlapping materials.

(engineering) To fit with a spline.

(genetics) The process of removing intron sequences from the pre-messenger RNA, and then joining together exons.

(engineering) To fasten to or together with a spline.

To unite, as two ropes, or parts of a rope, by a particular manner of interweaving the strands, the union being between two ends, or between an end and the body of a rope.

A rectangular piece fitting grooves like key seats in a hub and a shaft, so that while the one may slide endwise on the other, both must revolve together; a feather; also, sometimes, a groove to receive such a rectangular piece.

To unite, as spars, timbers, rails, etc., by lapping the two ends together, or by applying a piece which laps upon the two ends, and then binding, or in any way making fast.

(slang) To unite in marriage.

A flexible strip (wood or rubber) used in drawing curved lines

(figuratively) To unite as if splicing.

A thin strip (wood or metal)

(genetics) To remove intron sequences from the pre-messenger RNA, and then join together exons.

To unite, as two ropes, or parts of a rope, by a particular manner of interweaving the strands, - the union being between two ends, or between an end and the body of a rope.

To unite, as spars, timbers, rails, etc., by lapping the two ends together, or by applying a piece which laps upon the two ends, and then binding, or in any way making fast.
