I hope you are enjoying these 'lost' words. They give us a glimpse at the language of times past. I thank Stephen for allowing me to share them - http://phrontistery.info/clw.html Canitude                            1656 -1742 greyness; hoariness; whiteness The first snowfall of the year gave the field a pleasant canitude. Gelicide                              1656 -1681 a frost Unfortunately, the flowers were killed too soon by an early gelicide. Hypenemious                     1855 -1886 full of wind; windy; of an egg, malformed Let us protect ourselves against the hyenemious assault of the hurricane. The canitude of the hypenemious delivered its cold gelicide to the tree branches decorating them in sparkling icicles.
