TNH commented on the word indentilly
I suggest this word be adopted to describe the effect produced when text constrained to a certain column width by the use of a hard return at the end of each line is copied and pasted into a field that requires a narrower line length, resulting in each line being broken into one longer and one shorter segment.

TNH commented on the word icicle
IMO, "icicle" has the best set of alternate spellings I know of. Check out its etymological entry on this site. Not all the forms listed there are English, but almost all of them are recognizably the same word.
