Inaction, bodily and intellectual, pervading the same

1. Having no inherent power of action, motion, 
or resistance; without inherent force; inani- 
mate ; lifeless : applied to matter in its intrin- 
sic character: as, an inert mass of clay; an in- 
ert corpse. 
But if you'l say that motion is not of the nature of mat-

be moved from some other.

Accordingly, as we ascend from creatures that are inert

inequivalve (in-e'kwi-valv), a _ 
valve.} In conch., having unequal valves, as 
a bivalve mollusk; having one of the valves 
larger than the other : applied both to lamelli- 
branch bivalves, in which the valves are lat- 
eral, and to brachiopods, in which the valves 
are a dorsal and a ventral one. An inequilateral 
valve is unsyiametrical in itself ; an inequioalve bivalve 
has one valve unsymmetrical with the other. An oyster- 
shell is both inequilateral and inequivalve, having aflat 
valve and a deep valve, neither of which is equal-sided. 
The shell [of a brachiopod] is always inequivalve and 
equilateral : that is to say, each valve is symmetrical within 
itself, and more or less unlike the other valve.

The state or quality 
of being inert, (a) Lack of activity or exertion; ha-

It is not humanity, but laziness and inertness of mind, 
which produces the' desire of this kind of indemnities.

The Universities are not, as in Hobbes's time, "the core
