quote: An "anagnost" is specifically a cleric who reads things aloud in the Orthodox Church (like a lector or prelector in the Roman Catholic Church). The etymology is revealing: the anagnostes is the person who does anagignoskein, or "making things known" by reading them aloud. Ok, I'll concede that one. I looked it up [8D] As for Roble; hint: It's a noun, and native to California.

roble is a type of wood, but I don't know if it's native to California

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 6:05:43 PM)
Lol I'll give it to you Bandit. Roble is an oak tree that is specifically native to California. You're up [:D]

Damn. I knew that one was too easy. Ok, in Middle English "thew" meant a virtue or strength. Tenesmic

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:05:41 PM)
Easy? I guess I better go look up that word (easy). Nope, no clue,,,looked it up. A poisonous snake. You get to go again.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:35:58 PM)
"Maenad" is related to "mania," actually. I don't know "daboia." quote: ORIGINAL: Tikkiee quote: maenad LOL, that will be me come the fall term at school a very excited woman Here's another easy one "Daboia" there is one definition that I am thinking of, but it can also mean something else entirely.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:40:08 PM)
Looked this one up because I don't know it. "Tenesmic" means "afflicted with tenesmus," which is basically when you can't shit or piss. quote: ORIGINAL: Tikkiee quote: Tenesmic relating to spasms of the anal sphincter

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:42:08 PM)
Daboia is a poisonous snake. Another definition for it, though not widely known is LURKER I thought LAM might get a kick out of that one lol.

quote: disgybl It's Welsh, but I am not 100% sure of the translation. Let me think on this one lol.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:50:23 PM)
It means "pupil" (looks like it HAS to be borrowed from discipulus), but I thought we were conducting the game in English... Next one..."先派" Edited to add...My God, CM accepts Chinese now! Yay!

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 7:54:29 PM)
LMAO Well darn it, I guess that means I had better learn Chinese [&:] I know a smattering of Latin, but my ability to translate is pretty pitiful.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/24/2006 8:00:39 PM)
OK, back to English. "rhedarious"

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 3:43:44 AM)
I don't think any of us know this one LAM.

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/25/2006 4:57:55 AM)
quote: rhedarious" I am not sure of the exact definition but I know it has something to do with carriages. Give me some time, I'll figure it out.
