VO'MER and VO'MIS (ὕννις or ὕνις). A ploughshare (Varro, L. L. v. 135. Virg. Georg. i. 45. Cic. Phil. ii. 40.), formed of a metal plate (C), affixed to the share-beam (dentale), as in the annexed example (Vomer/1.1) from a bas-relief, which exhibits a specimen of the share termed vomer resupinus. (Plin. H. N. xviii. 48.) Other examples of simpler kinds, employed in light soils (Plin. l. c.), are represented by the wood-cuts s. DENS, 4., and DENTALE; and a share furnished with a coulter, also described by Pliny (l. c.), is given under the word CULTER, 7.
