Sentences with AFTERSHAFT (2)
Many feathers, in addition to the main axis, bear a second, generally much shorter axis, supporting a loose discontinuous vane; this shorter branch is known as the "aftershaft" and arises from the under surface of the feather.
Since, however, these feathers have each an aftershaft as long as the main shaft--like the rest of the body feathers--it may be that they answer not to remiges, but to major coverts.
