Episode eleven (days 51 to 55) of my 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 also in the OED.
| Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
| 51 | Saturday 21 December | ushabti | figurine of deceased person placed in Egyptian tomb |
| 52 | Sunday 22 December | lysarden | a wind instrument of the cornett family, predating the serpent |
| 53 | Monday 23 December | yellowplush ** | a footman, especially one who wears breeches made of yellow plush; an underling; a lackey |
| 54 | Tuesday 24 December | byrnie | coat of mail or breastplate |
| 55 | Wednesday 25 December | guyot | a flat-topped, submarine mountain |
** My favourite of the words presented.
