Q: "lanechtskipt"

[W Brewer]

JB:  <<"bare" ... If it's singular, I can only imagine that the polar bear
of this list was seen as having some brown in its hair.>>
WB: Context requires white bear = polar. (Or maybe it's bipolar? No, that's
not funny.) How about albino? But evidently there are "brown, cinnamon,
blond, blue-gray, or white" black bears. Blond(e)s are in Minnesota,
incidentally.
