    1. Thank you!

      I often go through a book I am reading and make a list of words I don't know. It is how I come up with this kind of thing. And no, I am not embarrassed to admit I don't know them.

  2. I didn't know any of those. If I didn't know better I would think they were blog verification words :)

    1. I thought that same thing during some of this! They're all from a translated book so I thought some of them SURELY had to be something else but, nope, all English.
