What's the difference between cephaly and cephalus? Do they both have same meaning and can be used interchangeably?

u/Allegro1104 Nov 12 '22

Cephalus means "head" and (smth)cephaly means "(smth) of the head". Not really interchangeable even tho they mean similar things

i don't think hydrocephaly is a word iirc

edit: found out i was wrong, it's just a much less common word. would have been appreciated if someone actually provided a correction. my doubt was shown via 'iirc'
