Sept.-Oct. Hogwash: GEMEBUND

1. having the color of a pumpkin; dark yellow-orange.

2. gemebund ( alt. sp. gemebun'd): having precious or semi-precious stones embedded in the buttocks area, sometimes in conjunction with an arrangement of tattoos.

3. of or relating to a finish for wood that employs an elastic polymer to ensure a dent-proof bond.

4. pretty with a dash of plain, comely.

5. Moribund.

6. Of or pertaining to two mythic twin snake-like familiars of the Hopi indians; their mythical names latinized by catholic priests. Desiring a symbiotic relationship with the snake, the shaman allowed the great snake to wrap itself around his upper torso and attach tendrils deep into his body. The gemebund familiar (l. geme > twin) would always bring great wisdom to his shaman host, but a moribund (l. mori > to die) familiar would grow fat feeding from the soul of his host until, and even after, the unfortunate shaman's death.

7. foggy or misty.

8. from the Latin, becoming increasingly valuable.

9. moaning, groaning, whimpering [L]: the gemebund wind sent shivers
down her spine.

10. capable of (and actively in the process of) splitting into two parts (like that infernal broom in the Sorcerer's Apprentice); from geme-, from gemini (twins)
