Grinding is largely autogenous ( i . e . it takes place by collision between lumps of raw material ), and is very efficient, producing little waste heat, provided that the materials are soft . Typically two or three washmills are connected in series, these being provided with successively smaller outlet perforations.

Pure lime is soluble in water containing carbonic acid, a natural, weak acid which is a solution of carbon dioxide in water and acid rain so it will slowly wash away, but this characteristic also produces autogenous or self-healing process where the dissolved lime can flow into cracks in the material and be redeposited, automatically repairing the crack.

When a female reproduces without such parasitic meals, it is said to practice autogenous reproduction, as in " Toxorhynchites "; otherwise, the reproduction may be termed anautogenous, as occurs in mosquito species that serve as disease vectors, particularly " Anopheles " and some of the most important disease vectors in the genus " Aedes ".
