What is another word for innominate bone?
Pronunciation: [ɪnnˈɒmɪnˌe͡ɪt bˈə͡ʊn] (IPA) 
The innominate bone is also commonly known as the hip bone, pelvic bone or coxal bone. It is a large, irregularly shaped bone that forms the base of the pelvis and connects the spine to the legs. Another synonym for this bone is the os coxae, which specifically refers to the fusion of three bones - the ilium, ischium and pubis. The human innominate bone is also homologous to the pelvis of other vertebrates. Interestingly, the word 'innominate' derives from the Latin, meaning 'unnamed', as the bone was thought to be nameless when first discovered. Now known by several names, this bone is an important part of human anatomy.
