Aw, jeez, dale. I had that word at the top of my list for the day I would get brave enough to be the Hogmistress...I ran across it in a book a couple of months ago and forgot to jot it down, so I had to reread the book to find it again. It wasn't in my brick and mortar Webster's. I heard about access to the OED free online while the BBC was running a show on it. I picked the wrong day to try and had to wait three days to try again. You owe me an obscure word now, guy
