As promised here’s episode two (covering days 6 to 10) of my latest 100 day challenge to find words I don’t know. I’m scraping words from https://randomword.com/ and each day picking one that I find interesting and which is in the OED.
| Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
| 6 | Wednesday 6 November | leucomelanous | having dark hair and eyes but fair skin |
| 7 | Thursday 7 November | ishan | a prehistoric Iraqi mound |
| 8 | Friday 8 November | traject | a place where boats cross a river, strait, or the like; a ferry |
| 9 | Saturday 9 November | hyetometrograph | an automatic instrument for registering the amount of rainfall during successive periods |
| 10 | Sunday 10 November | hieromonach ** | a monk who also serves as a priest |
** My favourite of the words presented.
