OK, we've got 4 of the 5 words and I still haven't figured it out.

Surely it isn't the obvious...

Please forgive an old fart's forgetfulness as I do remember that somebody had explained it, but who decides the week's theme and where is the button one pushes to learn what it is
Thanks all

wirds about vitility and inirgy ? Well dilli isn't totally willing to fit in completely, but what the..... Oops, had to make a little change as the encarta gave me a severe warning I might have been using a possible offensive word. Well, what do I know? I'm so glad I checked that out! Please change it in your email. What a dangerous place this is.

not to belittle, but I have yet to see one of these that has anything to do with function -- it's always been about form.

I guess you are right after all. Can see nothing else but the absence of any other vowel but the i. ( ""but who am I",the proud lord said ")
Seems like for the moment always is still always .
And I like these little riddles anyway.

Dale and Olly, How did you find this board if you don't subscribe to A Word A Day? Whatever -- every week Anu, or a guest, E-mails 5 words, one a day, on a certain theme. Usually he specifies the theme: eponyms, words from German, etc. This week, as occasionally happens, we have to guess the theme. If you don't subscribe to the E-mail you can find each word here: http://wordsmith.org/words/today.html
