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:
- glugfeffil (Looliers) - a tool or artifact?
- verapsnik (Looliers) - Some sort of religious items?
- 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)
- trefk (in a scholarly comment in Aelfants) - Presumeably a rude word
- obith (Awal Shrinkage) - Some property of mass?
- 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)
- glitterthought - (Battle of Barnum Stones) - some sort of narrative?
- 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)
- 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)
- gargarational (Brothers of the Lantern) - Your guess is a good as mine
- honng/hongg (Brothers of the Lantern) - Your guess is a good as mine
