That's a book in the Old Testament; if it has another meaning, I don't know it.

It is a book of the Bible or it is a Hebrew Priest; I was actually referring to the priest

Your turn

LOL
"synaesthesia" is the abilitly of individuals to actually SEE sounds and HEAR colors; to use an example....a musician not only hears the sound of the music he creates, he can also SEE it in color. Another would be the ability of a blind person to 'draw' or 'paint' a perfect picture of the ocean, having never seen what one looked like.

We're doing "rheology," which looks like a medical term. I don't know it.

"To succor" means to provide nourishment (either physical or emotional).

Edited to add: "ithyphallic," by the way, doesn't refer to the art itself, but specifically to a subject in art with an erect penis. And, in fact, it's not limited to art. You could speak of an "ithyphallic" participant in a primitive religious rite, for example. That just means some guy with a big erection.

Sorry.... rheology= study of deformation and flow of matter

But succor, is to help or relieve when in difficulty, want, or distress as in to aid.

That's an interesting point, because Dictionary.com agrees with you, but I've never thought "succor" has to be limited to times of difficulty, and OED agrees with me. So somewhere along the line there seems to have been a little a dispute among lexicographers--and that's inherently interesting.

OED's definitions are pretty straightforward:

quote:

1. trans. To help, assist, aid (a person, etc.). [With examples going back to ca. 1250.]
2. To furnish with military assistance; to bring reinforcements to; spec. to relieve (a besieged place).
3. To relieve or remedy (a state of want, weakness, etc.); to relieve (a diseased condition). Obs.
4. To shelter, protect. Now dial.
5. Naut. To strengthen, make firm or taut.

Dictionary.com, by contrast, lists only one verbal meaning:

quote:

Assistance in time of distress; relief.

I'd be inclined to take out the "in time of distress."

Edited to add: Whose turn is it now?
