I am playing with this feature.
Spurious Terms
I had this idea that there are a few "spurious terms" that have no Earthly analog and that are not references, citations or phantoms. This means that there are essentially UNDEFINED terms in the encyclopedia.
As I find them I'll add them here for reference:
- couthblossom (Hatties Day) - A plant presumeably?
- emphyteusis (Doc Rockett) - as used it implies a disease but I found it defined in the real world as the act of emplanting or improving land.
- gargarational (Brothers of the Lantern) - Your guess is a good as mine
- glitterthought - (Battle of Barnum Stones) - some sort of narrative?
- glugfeffil (Looliers) - a tool or artifact?
- honng/hongg (Brothers of the Lantern) - Your guess is a good as mine
- obith (Awal Shrinkage) - Some property of mass?
- trefk (in a scholarly comment in Aelfants) - Presumeably a rude word
- trunggalist (Doc Rockett) - An occupation
- verapsnik (Looliers) - Some sort of religious items?
- wizzlard - (Jemima and the Square Do-Gooders) - Profession? Title? Some sort of -mancer?
Some of the veil has been lifted:
Barolo (Adlorst Vinifera) - Some kind of wine?- In real life, an Italian red wine from the Piedmont. --Jcowan 10:49, 14 Dec 2004 (EST)
Rioja (Adlorst Vinifera) - A libation of some kind?- In real life, a Spanish red, white, or rose wine, presumably the red this time. --Jcowan 10:49, 14 Dec 2004 (EST)
calvados (Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood) - Possibly a proper noun. Maybe a plant or animal of some sort.- In real life, French apple brandy. --Jcowan 10:49, 14 Dec 2004 (EST)
tonsoral art (Brothers of the Lantern) - surely not art on one's tonsils. is it?- That's "tonsorial art", and it means the art of cutting people's hair. See [justfuckinggoogleit.com]! --Jcowan 10:49, 14 Dec 2004 (EST)
Quezloos - (Bobby Shwarmph) - A unit of money or exchange- See Harrabloon Bank and Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge. Quezlarian Ooo, for which Quezloo is an abbreviation, is on the phantom list. --Jcowan 10:49, 14 Dec 2004 (EST)
