The words are quasisolid and semisolid because the prefixes "quasi" and "semi" do not take hypens unless they are followed by proper nouns, which is very rare. I guess that we could have these {semi-Catholic, quasi-Catholic, semi-Protestant, semi-Moslem, semi-Saharan - quasi-Saharan} but in this case, the more useful word is

}.
Nor has anyone made links from "semisolid" to this article. Also, note that a semisolid and a semiliquid are the same thing: they lie along the boundary between a liquid and a solid.

I'd like to see a breakout of the different types of quasisolids. For example, some materials (e.g., grease, ketchup) exhibit thixotropy but others (e.g., putty) do not. I also think that the article on Thixitropy should link to this page, as thixotropic materials would seem to be a subset of quasisolids. RichMorin (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
