Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (5/9/2006 11:56:14 AM)
Yes, that's the literal meaning of "oenomel." But it has a more useful derived sense. It's a poetic term meaning "anything that combines strength and sweetness." quote: ORIGINAL: bandit25 ancient Greek drink of wine and honey. Yes, I looked it up.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (5/9/2006 12:01:07 PM)
OK, a lot of catching up to do. "Feague" has a lot of meanings, and I didn't know any of them. Ron was right that the basic meaning seems to be "to sweep." Most commonly it means "to beat, to whip." And it also has the sense that mistoferin is talking about. But that seems to be a variant of "to fake," which originally meant dressing up an animal to make it look more desirable than it really is (for the purposes of sale). It's also related to "fig," as in "figging." Whoda guessed that "fig" and "fake" are related? quote: ORIGINAL: mistoferin quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail clean up or polish or sweep (thats where it comes from) your close...lol...it's actually figging a horse's ass with ginger to make him carry his tail high

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (5/9/2006 12:03:28 PM)
"Wattle" has several meanings too. One is "rod, post, twig," especially for use in a fence. Another is "a fleshy lobe hanging from the head or neck of certain birds." quote: ORIGINAL: mistoferin a wattle is a good gift for a baby (wink)...or some part of the process of thatched roofing

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (5/9/2006 12:05:26 PM)
That's a proper name, unless it has a meaning I'm not aware of. quote: ORIGINAL: bandit25 Back to Galloway

Oh all right..."griceling" "Screef" is a variation of "scruff." It refers to surface vegetation.
