Dear Dr. Bill, an interesting question: I originally posted iridesce and phosporesce, but couldn't find iridesce listed in any dictionary as a verb, so I changed them back to their noun incarnations. Can you establish the verb form of iridesce with a citation? Peculiarly, all the others are listed as verbs in that form, but not iridesce? Tsuwm? Anyone?
