Aba Abb Aby Ait Ala
Filed Under Learning |
I’ve recently starting playing Boggle semi-regularly. I’ve always enjoyed it, but now I’m playing it with people who are much more competitive.
While I was in Boston, I also read Word Freak, a rather scary insight into the world of professional Scrabble.
The combination of these two paragraphs have led me to need to know that an ‘aba’ is a fabric woven from goat and camel hair, that ‘abb’ is a yarn used in weaving, that to ‘aby’ is to make amends, or atone, for something, that an ‘ait’ is a small island, and that an ala (pl. alae) is an insect’s wing.
