From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

  Catenate \Cat"e*nate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Catenated}; p. pr. &
     vb. n. {Catenating}.] [L. catenatus, p. p. of catenare, fr.
     catena chain. See {Chain}.]
     To connect, in a series of links or ties; to chain. --E.
     Darwin.

From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

  catenate
       v : arrange in a series of rings or chains, as for spores [syn:
           {catenulate}]


  You need at least two objects to catenate them. You can't catenate
one object.
