Tetragrammaton : 2
One by Elfgirl in Mallory's abc's of unusual words.

'Tetragrammaton' is the Greek for a word with four letters. The Hebrew word for God: YHWH is such a word. LOVE is another one.lurch wrote:The letter Yod is the first letter of the name Tetragrammaton, and this symbolizes the Father, who is Wisdom; he is the highest form of Mercury, and the Logos, the Creator of all worlds. Accordingly, his representative in physical life is the spermatozoon; this is why the card is called The Hermit.

Thanks for this one, Stonemaybe. I love this word. Probably learnt it from SRD!Stonemaybe wrote:susurrus : 3

I always associate it with this word which I have only ever seen in the Chrons:
Moire : 6
No actual usage just references in the obscure words thread and in the name of one character.
I haven't a clue how to use it but I just love its impressionistic suggestiveness

Arkansas : 225
It comes after Alabama and just before I do love my ma and pa. But it's ARkinSAW which is just completely anti-American in my opinion (as a non-American).

Um... the search shows the threads, but how do you find who actually used the word without searching through several pages of posts?
