But found "asperge" meaning "to sprinkle" Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Word Browser Web Site #62233 03/25/02 01:02 AM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 W wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 Another ten words: "iriachs" couldn't find it in Phrontistery either. Hey tsuwm, forget your tea. I playfully challenge you to find those words not in Phrontistery. Same to all other AWADtalk participants.

It would be nice if the site also let you put in your own words so you could see the results from all of those sources very easily.

I am aware that the Phrontistery is not the ultimate source, but it is still more words than many dictionaries. If I can't find it there, I know it is a tough one.

You've always been able to use the text box at the top of the 'table of links' - just type any word and hit refresh and you're off and running. BUT... because that was so inobvious, I added an additional text field (just last night) to go right along with your list on the left. Hope you like it!

"Burma" please, unless you favor the military oppression that claims the former and outlawed the latter. ;-) The interesting thing about kyat (according to my Burmese friend, Kyaw) is that the ky is pronounced as a 'ch' as 'church' with only the slightest 'y' sound.

There are lots of alternative spellings to trip you up. Last night I saw "throve" as the past tense of "thrive"!
