Questions of morphological terminology

I write an article and find myself thinking that I do not know what kind of word "pedicel" (as a segment of the antenna) and, accordingly, how to incline it. I decided to Google it. And what do I see? Who wants to do what he wants... declines it. The situation is similar to that of Russian-speaking statisticians with the word "quantile". But what's the right thing to do?

Well, for other questions of this kind, this topic will do.

Pedicel, lat. (Pedicellus) - leg, stem. Masculine gender.
It seems so, but it's not accurate.

Exactly so, masculine gender, but written with a lowercase letter.

Thank you, I'll make it male. Although, it seems that a good half of Russian-speaking entomologists do not know this, and in their publications pedicel is inclined as a feminine noun smile.gif

Aha, "a good half" of Russian-speaking housewives believe that the word "tulle" is also a feminine noun. wink.gif

It's the same song with the gel

Actually, such "songs" are enough. For example, offhand: aerosol, corn, persol, roofing, and you can also collect a bunch. wink.gif
