You could have knocked over with a feather when I saw the Hoglist and discovered that there were actually two correct definitions for the word ARMIL. I had forgotten that armil means
P as well as the one I was gonna submit.
I was still refining my definition of ARMIL when tsuwm called "Time!" and was therefore excluded from the list. I offer my definition now merely to entertain my fellow Hogwashers while tsuwm drags this Hogwash on and on until one of his whims moves him to confirm the correct definition. I hereby vote for
P while the proof of the truth of my disqualified definition is self-evident. (see below)
ARMIL a mnemonic. (as below)
A position 1 from the front 26 from the back
R 19 8
M 14 13
I 9 18
L 11 15
total [54]subtracted from [80] equals [26]
armil is a good simple mnemonic to remember the number of letters in the english alphabet (26). The letters A,R,M,I,L, are the only grouping of five letters known to exhibit this quality.
