Sigh.

Don't know, sionnach, but maybe sarra didn't find the word by looking at your list...? Just a thought.

sarra commented on the word zugma
sorry again! I did see the other entries, whose humour I understood — and yes, I didn't see them in your list. Zug is a new one on me (though vague memories of German words to do with travelling). Off to request a feature to make word-inclusion-in-lists more obvious!
