anomer
This term is used exclusively within the specialized field of stereochemistry to describe a specific type of epimer. It refers to the structural variation found in cyclic sugars, where the difference occurs specifically at the carbon atom that was the carbonyl carbon in the open-chain form.
In a laboratory or academic setting, the term is typically paired with the Greek letters alpha and beta to specify the orientation of the hydroxyl group relative to the ring. It is a highly technical term and is never used in general or casual conversation.

I need to determine if this sample contains the alpha or beta anomer.
Mutarotation occurs when one anomer converts into another in solution.
Mutarotation occurs when one anomer converts into another in solution.

Wait, did you check which anomer was formed during the cyclization?
Each anomer has slightly different physical properties.
