Yes, we made it! Here’s the final episode (days 96 to 100), of my 100 day challenge to find words I don’t know. I’ve been scraping words from https://randomword.com/ and each day picking one that I find interesting and which is also in the OED.
Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
96 | Tuesday 4 February | unguiculate | having claws |
97 | Wednesday 5 February | hwyl ** | emotional state capable of arousing intense eloquence |
98 | Thursday 6 February | cacolet | a military litter for the sick or wounded carried by mules |
99 | Friday 7 February | ketjak | traditional Balinese dance accompanied by male chorus |
100 | Saturday 8 February | oneiric | of, like, or pertaining to dreams |
** My favourite of the words presented.
So that’s it for this 100 day challenge. I’ll try to write a summary in the next few days. And look out for another challenge – I’ve got some ideas lined up but we’ll maybe have a break first.
