• To clog with debris — To gather, accumulate, or heap up alluvium, branches, and debris brought by waters; to cause a blockage on a river course. As a reflexive form, it applies to waters that stop due to a structural obstacle or to materials that pile up at a certain point.
• Silting up — The act of clogging and its result; a natural or accidental process through which a riverbed or drainage channel becomes blocked due to the massive accumulation of alluvium, silt, gravel, and woody debris transported by floods. This phenomenon causes a reduction in the flow cross-section and the silting up of the watercourse.
• Silted up — Being blocked, choked, or silted up through the deposition of alluvium, silt, or woody debris brought by waters; a watercourse or channel whose free flow has been hindered by a debris accumulation. As a participle, it indicates the final state of the action of the verb 'a agesta'.
• Almagest — A spelling variant used for 'Almagest', the famous mathematical and astronomical treatise written in the 2nd century AD by Claudius Ptolemy in Alexandria. The work represents the ultimate synthesis of ancient Greek astronomy, proposing the geocentric model of the Universe (where the Earth sits unmovable at the center, surrounded by planetary and stellar spheres) that dominated European and Islamic scientific thought for over fourteen centuries until the Copernican revolution.
