Yes - but I was not talking doctor-speak, which is a language all of
itys own. I am quite happy that fenestral means _exactly_ what I
intended it to mean! And it was certainly "proper" to use it in that
way. In architecture it is fenestrated that would mean having holes!!
From Wiktionary:
Adjective
fenestral (not comparable)
(architecture) Relating to a window or windows.
Adjective
fenestrated (comparative more fenestrated, superlative most
fenestrated)
(architecture) Having windows
From Collins 20C dictionary - more my own era ;-) -
fenestrated - .....pierced, perforated ...
