lol yup
part of our religious Christians (or would that be catholic?) traditions can and are used as swearwords here in Quebec...
as in :
Calisse = the bowl where the blood of Jesus Christ was poured in
Tabarnak = another kind of spelling...yet, the same basic meaning
Criss = as in Christ (Jesus Christ)
Osti (or Esti) = the substitut of the *body* of Jesus Christ that we get to eat at each ceremony

Those are the more populars

Liriope is a kind of savage plant, you can find them often along the roads or in savage fields.

Not quite...naiad is a water nymph. Unless it is also a forest spirit? LAM?

I always thought it was a water nymph also. I could be wrong though

A "naiad" is a water nymph. A wood nymph is a "dryad" (or sometimes they use the word "sylph").

Whose turn is it?

Edited to add...Oh, Ate, the goddess of infatuation.

Next one...have we done "larmoyant" yet?

It has to be from the same root as "zygote." "Zygos" means "yoked," so "azygos" must mean "not yoked." I guess it's something that's free, not bonded to anything else?
