-ine \-ine\ (?; 104).
   1. (Chem.) A suffix, indicating that those substances of
      whose names it is a part are basic, and alkaloidal in
      their nature.

   Note: All organic bases, and basic substances (especially
         nitrogenous substances), are systematically written
         with the termination -ine; as, quinine, morphine,
         guanidine, etc. All indifferent and neutral substances,
         as proteids, glycerides, glucosides, etc., should
         commonly be spelled with -in; as, gelatin, amygdalin,
         etc. This rue has no application to those numerous
         commercial or popular names with the termination -ine;
         as, gasoline, vaseline, etc.

   2. (Organ. Chem.) A suffix, used to indicate hydrocarbons of
      the second degree of unsaturation; i. e., members of the
