As it's my birthday sometime this year and if no one objects I'd like to take the liberty of starting a new game with a word of my own (I think) invention which I am sure will strike a chord with all Cys., which is derived from one of my favourite gr. words.

It's not in the OED yet but I suspect some would agree that it ought to be. A very useful word for members of the forum, certainly my old man found it useful when describing me in my youth and I think he still uses it to describe my mother! Typical older generation village Cy.

Here's the adjective sence.

Xerocephalic

I love that word ... especially all the hand gesturing that accompanies it ...

onyerbike

Only once the Turkish troops have cleared the way ....

kerosene

nemesis (yours)

You're too far gone .. too blind to see how blind you are.

How are you ever going to manage chess ...

Xerocephalic

nOT BEING A gc, CAN i ASK IF THE 'x' AND 'z' WOULD BE INTERCHANGEABLE?. tHEY BOTH WOULD SOUND LIKE 'Z', BUT ITS BEST TO GET IT RIGHT. (sorry about the CAPS, pesky cats)

If it means what I think it does, it is a great word.

Here it's more of a definite, hard "X" sound.

Hmmm, so it is not Zero? zerocephalic? if not what would xerocephalic mean?

Zerocephalic. Excellent new word D. Presumably your new word would mean empty headed, whereas the use of the noun "xerocephalos" (with an X) in gr Cy means something like dry-headed or perhaps we would say thick-headed in English. (I think)

Can we reserve that word for Zan ....

I think you fear Zan. Why is that? Do you feel threatened by his ability to withsand your .............. ferocious attacks on his people?

Before I am accused of being a cheat ..... I'd like to get one thing straight! I did not call the follow up word ..... but that Zerocephalic Xerocephalos called Deniz did ... and he chose icon ....
