EDNOTE. You are right. I can not recall why I assumed "anide" was French. But it
clearly derives from Greek/Latin antecedents and means "shapeless, formless" as
in undifferentiated embryo. This seems to fit the "obese" Pauline-as-model. I
still like my suggestion of sculptor Henry Moore, Nabokov bete noir, whose
works were often "undiferentiated."

Dear Don,
Thank you for the Ednote.
Is "anide" really a French word for "formless"? In French dictionaries--and
several dictionaries
of some other languages--I have consulted, I could not find the word. If it
is a French word, I will be happy free from the "anide" for which I could
not find a perfect solution.
For your reference, I pasted my note to "anide" below.
73.10: *anide*: Brian Boyd explains "anide" in the LoA edition notes as
"Anidian, formless, lacking differentiation (of an embryo or fetus). I found
that in Webster 3 as the definition of "anidian," and I think the meanings
Brian cites matches the text, but I could not find that "anide" equals
"anidian." A website has "anide" as a synonym of "acardiaque," i. e.,
"acardiac" in English. Cf. Vulgaris-Medical:
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:SGeEfe-j_QcJ:www.vulgaris-medical.com/v1/%3Fp%3Dindex_fiche%26id_article%3D5331+anide&hl=ja
.
The other "anide" hit was in a Spanish verb conjugation table.
"Anidar">"anide" means 1. to nest, 2. to live. I would be grateful if
someone would explain the Spanish verb. I do not understand why the Belgian
sculptor named his work made from a French (or Belgian) woman in Spanish,
though.
Later, I found "Pauline anide" in Spanish is not grammatically correct as
you may know.
Brian wrote to me that W2 gives "anidean" as a variant of "anidian" with the
meanings he cited in AoL, and in a technical polysyllable that "-an" suffix
could be superfluous, which he thought was what both VN and he were going
on.
I was almost persuaded by Brian because there was no better explanation. But
if "anide" is a French word commonlly used, it must be better than Brian's
definition. It would be natural that a Belgian artist named his work in
French.
Best wishes,
Akiko
