The word, AnnaStrophic was LITHAGE, although you'll never guess the definition in a million years. Even I had to see it on the list before I recognized the meaning. I'm considering withdrawing from the contest in order to give the less fortunate a chance to win. Also my goodbuddy Hyla let me put two definitions on the guess list, (j)- The process of removing stones and other unwanted material such as stalks from the usable crop of cherries, prior to jam or juice manufacture, and
(k) unreadable facial expression.
Also a hint...
The answer is not A or F or L.

Good Luck to you all,
Milo
