mollusque And wouldn't you like to keep your member? Apr 13, 2008
bilby I'd have to disagree with port. Apr 13, 2008

...prive
...spicable
...lete
...port
All 'de-' words :) Apr 13, 2008
uselessness monstrate? gamy? ligion? furcate? heveled?
Thanks for the correction on "ocular," BTW. Dec 13, 2006
nkocharh True, removing one prefix would leave you with "defatigable." But I found it more whimsical to go all the way and take 'em both. And this list is nothing if not chock-a-block with whimsy. Dec 13, 2006
seanahan Fatigue is being tired. Fatigable means "capable of being fatigued". Indefatigable means "incapable of being fatigued". Therefore, the word you should have is "defatigable". Dec 13, 2006
asativum Indeed! Where are my manners? I should have thanked you here as well as at my own list. Off to add incontrovertible... Dec 13, 2006
nkocharh That's right in line with "fatigable" and "peccable," so I'm all for it. And I'm glad I could help with your list. :-)
Thanks for helping me have fun here, everyone! My favorite part about this list is reading a "word" (most here aren't, obviously) and having to think a second before recognizing the commonly used modified form. Probaly why I loved "ert" so much, and because it sounds like yurt.
Oh, I really am a wordie, aren't I? :-D Dec 13, 2006
asativum Explicable seems, well, perfectly explicable. But maybe plicable deserves a berth? Dec 13, 2006
seanahan Actually, binocular decomposes into bin(like binary) and ocular. Ocular is a perfectly acceptable word. Dec 12, 2006
nkocharh So, my OAED says that ignominy and apopleptic aren't strictly compound words, at least not at the natural divisions one would expect. (It would seem to need to be "gnominy," the word having come from "gnomen.") Infer, however, is a straightforward prefix, and an excellent addition. :-) Thanks! Dec 12, 2006
pamelad fer Dec 12, 2006
pamelad nominy, poplectic Dec 12, 2006
oroboros morse or morseless...you pick Dec 12, 2006
uselessness nocular? Dec 12, 2006
nkocharh Thank you all! I think "ert" is my favorite so far. :-D
Also, about peach(ment): I feel that will go nicely with (cu)cumber. Dec 12, 2006
oroboros well, now i've DEFINITELY gotta make this a favorite! ;^) Dec 12, 2006
pamelad crepit, dain, prave Dec 12, 2006
john How about "peach" ;-) Dec 12, 2006
