CONJOINT

 Two folios constituting a bifolio which are part of the same sheet of support material and separated only by a fold-line. Conjoint leaves immediately follow each other if the bifolio they make up is the inner bifolio at the center of a gathering. Moving away from the center of the gathering, conjoint leaves are interrupted by all folios closer to the center, with the first leaf of the gathering conjoint to the last leaf in the outer bifolio on the outside of the gathering.
