I still can’t make up my mind so let me jump on somebody else’s boat... C doesn’t feel right since gukgo seems hard to pronounce in English. E is definitely wrong – big wildlife-bio fan here. D sounds good but it feels like a coincidence...like the excreta clue which sounds too much like guano. So it’s G or L....G or L....arghhh, o.k. I’m going with Faldage and choosing L. Seriously, you guys must be good at poker. I'm not playing with any of you at Portawap.

C; note--if it turns out to be L, I'm gonna cry foul--we shouldn't be expected to know every word of every language on the planet!

Every word on the planet? Probably impossible to know every word on the planet since hundreds would be wordsbecoming, just like the one I just created.
We've had this interesting number of words discussion many times here and have agreed it's an impossible task. However, debate aside, the last time I heard some rogue speak of number of words in the English language recorded in current dictionaries, that rogue mentioned a million + figure and I suspect that million + (though we all here know that a million + is too low) did not include the 300,000 + that are on urbandictionary.com. And since I read years ago that the average lexicographer (not the over-achieving lexicographer) had a vocabulary of 100,000 + words, then I think there's a pretty good chance we can all sigh a huge collective sigh of relief when we don't know every word on Hogwashregistered.

Having narry a clue to start with, I'll go the psychological route. Since F, I, and N seem to share the idea based on g/vowel/cons/g/o, I’ll throw them aside with all their desperate detail as fin-ished (though prolly already fatally wrong!) In similar mode, J is too clearly modelled on g/u/*/*/o, so I think that one stinks. I can’t imagine an oblong swab for a round cannon, so I’ll declare that one a bore. C is tempting. But then K seems to be too similar a process for co-incidence, so I’ll assume the fertile minds here are responsible for those two; and H, E, L and M are just too fishy to be left on deck :) B is internally consistent: just too fanciful! O is very tempting; hmmm, but I think I detect a tsuwm or Faldage at work, trying to lure me to the succinct decoy… So that leaves the Scots pair of songsters: eeny, meenie, minie, mo…. Give me a G for an edumificated guess!
