A volunteer at my school ran across this word in an old story about cable cars set around 1913. We have looked in our school dictionaries, and online on Webster's unabridged and the 1913 dictionary posted by Univ. of Chicago. If anyone can shed light on the meaning and/or origin of this word, you'd make me the hero of the second grade! That's "f u r n i c u l a r" -- Thanks!
