You state that the meaning of 'hirsutulous' is "minutely hirsute". What does that term mean? Is it close to the word 'pilgarlic', meaning bald? Or does it imply that one is a hairs breadth away from being pilgarlic only because one has a faint fuzz of hair on one's head? I would appreciate your advice.

If you look at these citations, they don't suggest pilgarlic at all. -joe (barbate) friday Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: HIRSUTULOUS -v- PILGARLIC tsuwm #167559 04/15/2007 7:53 PM Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,773 Apple Valley, CA, USA dalehileman Pooh-Bah dalehileman Pooh-Bah Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,773 Apple Valley, CA, USA hirtellous: slightly hirsute http://www.plantstogrow.com/Botany/alpa_list/list_2.htm dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
