Siccity

To the preservation of life the natural heat is most requisite, though siccity and humidity […] be not excluded.

[…] so long as the polar heavens regulate the movement of the Northern Bear, and preserve it, in its siccity (the Bears are called "siccæ", or dry, as they never set) […]

The Lumincus Lamp of Progression, whose sciatherical shadows falling upon earthly matter, not promoting sciolism, or Siccity, may it illumine humanity as it tardigradely floats from matter's aquius wastes, to minds majestic and apyrous climes.

Only by extreme siccity is such land possible when more water rises in evaporation than falls by precipitation.

At least regarding combustion, it is advisable to derive conditions for the auto-ignition of the wet sewage sludge from an enthalpy balance with a flame temperature of 600 °C. This generally gives values of siccity close to 50%.
