Remember all these words were supposed to be known by highschool kids. There sure are many I did not know in highschool. But of course us wordaholics know them all. Eleven of the "A" words are medical terms. Thirteen of the words have been used in AWADtalk before. I'll just list them, and post about a couple that may be of interest. Goddam the software. I spent a lot of time making nice neat columns, and the software undid all my work.

Acetabulum is the anatomical term for the socket into which the head of the femur fits. Mildly interesting derivation: "little vinegar dish". Somebody else pick one.
