[Lexicog] Word fun (was Measure words)

[David Tuggy]

Only horses are more nervous than equanimitous (equanimous?
equinymous?). Maybe your elephant term should be spelt "pachydge". I
like your "rumour of cows". I here them moo rumorically as they walk
down the road past the place I'm staying here in Mexico these days.
