Pendé River

The Pendé River is a river in central Africa. It arises in Ouham-Pendé in the Central African Republic and flows north, forming a short part of the international boundary between the Central African Republic and Chad. It eventually merges with the Logone River near Kim.

Historically it gave its name to the French administrative district Pendé, which was ceded to Germany as part of Neukamerun at the treaty of Fez 1912.

Hydrometry

The flow of the river observed over 28 years (1947–75) in Doba a town in Chad about 70 km above the mouth into the Logon. The at Doba observed average annual flow during this period was 128 m³ / s fed by an area of about 14.300 km ² a majority of the total catchment area of the River.

Pend

Pend is a Scottish architectural term referring to a passageway that passes through a building, often from a street through to a courtyard or 'back court', and typically designed for vehicular rather than exclusively pedestrian access.

A pend is distinct from a vennel or a close, as it has rooms directly above it, whereas vennels and closes tend not to be covered over and are typically passageways between separate buildings. However a 'close' also means a common entry to multi-dwelling tenement properties in Scotland.

The OED suggests that the etymology of the word is probably related to the archaic verb pend - "arch, arch over, vault", this in turn being derived from the French pendre, Latin pendēre "to hang"

Pentalenolactone F synthase

Pentalenolactone F synthase (EC 1.14.11.36, PEND (gene), PNTD (gene), PTLD (gene)) is an enzyme with system name pentalenolactone-D,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Pentalenolactone F synthase contains Fe(II), and ascorbate is needed for its action.
