“Scientists stunned by discovery of ‘semi-identical’ twins:
Boy and girl, now four, are only the second case of ‘sesquizygotic’ twins recorded”
—The Guardian

Memini Gemini
Twins (names unknown to us):
Semi-identical,
Girl next to boy;

Savor the word for them:
Sesquizygotical!
Sesquipedalia—
Always a joy.
