12:19 am
Gillie
so close to "between"
12:19 am
cybernan
yes - only one 6 and no 7's yet
12:20 am
justafreep
beclam should be a word.
12:20 am
Gillie
I've got de6, me6 x 2, and sa6

12:32 am
Gillie
bewarm also not a word - not that I'm claiming I'd use it
12:40 am
Gillie
Ooh - ci7
12:40 am
justafreep
it bewarms me when I am afrit, as I often say
12:41 am
justafreep
thanks for that gillie
12:42 am
Gillie
It bewarms you when you are "a powerful evil demon or monster"?
12:42 am
Gillie
I think this is the first time I've looked up "afrit" - maybe it has another meaning
12:43 am
justafreep
I have no idea
12:43 am
justafreep
it just sounded right. I just looked it up and it makes no sense as I used it.
12:44 am
Gillie
Yeah - I always assumed "afrit" meant something like "afraid"
12:44 am
justafreep
archaic Scottish for afraid would work, ya
12:45 am
SamanthaJoy
There's the Arabic transliteration and then there's the Scottish Gaelic definition.
12:45 am
SamanthaJoy
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
12:46 am
justafreep
Your story bewarms me
12:48 am
Gillie
I didn't know the ci6 either, but I guess it's another word for a bug that's having a big year
12:48 am
SamanthaJoy
I was just horrified the other day when I found that "tagine" isn't an Enable word. I thought I'd inured myself to the terror, but no, sometimes I'm still shocked by their deficiencies.
12:51 am
Gillie
At least Babble now takes "spam", even if it still doesn't take "internet"
12:52 am
SamanthaJoy
Babble is just a matter of convincing Dr God.
That's (relatively) easy, even though he can't make any money off this site.
Enable, now . . .
12:56 am
SamanthaJoy
I have 30 words left. I'm tired. See y'all tomorrow. G'night.
12:56 am
Gillie
Squardle apparently has a committee to decide which words qualify as "normal" - but from the sound of it, it gets pretty contentious
12:56 am
Gillie
Night, Sam
12:57 am
Gillie
Retiring now with 9 left for tomorrow
