Fusome

While glakit fools, owr rife o' cash, Pamper their weyms wi' fusome trash, I think a chiel may gayly pass;

Waes me! waes me! siccan a fusome sight as I am.

Out, fie, the fusome carlie! The ill contriving carlie!

And ye be gaun to court a wife, ye do tell to me, ' Tis ye sall hae my Fusome Fug, Your ae wife for to be, be, Your ae wife for to be.

What pleas'd him best, the warmed up some keal, And RALF dud mak a varra fusome meal,

Whya nowt but weel , she seems a varra conny fusom wife, en I hear they hoffer et dea varra weel, en baith draas yaa way, en gitten ther lile farm varra connoly stockt;

She was...as douce and fewsome as ony woman's bairn

Cystoblasts/cystocytes also divide asymmetrically, and in doing so, the spectrosome evolves into a branched fusome in the 16-cell cyst (5,37), accumulating proteins like Bam, ankyrin, α- and β-spectrins, the adducinlike product of the hu-li tai shao gene (HtsF), dynein (Dhc64C), and Cyclin A (5,35,36).

This demonstrates a key role of the fusome as a channel of communication between the cells for the synchronisation and differentiation of the germline cyst.

F-actin is not detected reliably on the fusome in Drosophila female ovaries, whereas it is a major component of the male fusome.
