Plural of twibil
n. - A kind of mattock, or ax; esp., a tool like a pickax, but having, instead of the points, flat terminations, one of which is parallel to the handle, the other perpendicular to it.Nice, thanks MoreWords (Robert Hoare). Apparently if I'm armed with a twibil, I'm twibilled - according to onlinedictionary [from a 1913 Webster].
n. - A tool for making mortises.
n. - A reaping hook.
I was fascinated by one of More Words' random words:
vug : rock cavity: a small hole in a rock or vein that often contains a mineral lining that differs from that of the surrounding matrix - MSN Encarta
from which one can apparently make an adjective: vuggy
Watch out Helen & Graham, I'll be stronger for our next Upwords game.
