Meaning of dacrios

dacrios: Plural of dacrio, which is the point of union of the lacrimal bone with frontal and maxillary. On the other hand dacri - and dacrio - are prefixes derived from the Greek lakryon lakryou: tear, from the verb lakryo: cry. Form words as dacryoadenitis, dacryocystitis...; I want to correct a typo in previous post: tears and cry in Greek transcribed as dakryon and dacryo respectively lakryon and not lakryo as I have written. Thank you; plural of dacriodacrio-from Gr. dakryon, Teardrop prefixes.
