Word: palimpsestuous Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From palimpsest + -ous by surface analysis, but also a humorous blend of palimpsest (“a text with several layers”) + incestuous (“involving relationships between related things”). Coined by Anthony Burgess (as palimpcestuous, with a suggested alternative form palincestuous to make the connection with incestuous clearer) to describe self-reference and the use of wordplay in the works of James Joyce. 1. Pertaining to the textual relationality of a palimpsest; referential to earlier works or self-referential between several meanings of a single text. Example: But this missive from Boston may be taken as a palimpcestuous précis of Finnegans Wake itself Example: In a palimpsestuous reading, the hypertext, or the original, always stands to gain by having its hypertextual status perceived.
Word: brown-sugary Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From brown sugar + -y. 1. Resembling or characteristic of brown sugar. Example: A gentleman residing in Devonshire, and, therefore, in a warm and growing climate, has failed in his Pine crop, inasmuch as the fruit, when cut and brought to table, though fine in size, tastes, as we should say of a turnip in my country, mosey, and has one insipid, brown-sugary flavour pervading it, and no other. Example: The color of the Tamworth, usually described as red, and by the Shrewsbury judges called sandy, is a sort of brown-sugary yellow or yellowish brown, with more or less of a reddish tinge. 2. With brown sugar. Example: […] what interested them even more was that he showed them how to cook sand-pies and cakes in the sun so that they tasted not of sand at all, but of the most delicious brown-sugary shortbread. Example: The real old-time butterscotch flavor—you’ll know it as soon as you taste it. Rich and brown-sugary. Smooth and crystal clear, as homemade butterscotch sauces seldom can be.

Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Where the chalk has been burnt and it crumbles it assumes the look of brown sugar, and wherever this brown sugary appearance is present about the rock windows and doors of one of these castles in the air, we know the manner of its reduction. Example: Though the rich brown sugary smell of the cookies wafted through the house, it did nothing to fill the emptiness of the rooms in which they lived, emptiness that was destroying Bonnie and that Kirk, totally preoccupied with the problems at SuperWrite, didn’t seem to notice.

But give me two drakhmai if you wish, whenever you will, and we will say no more of it. Example: The stonecutter has simply forgotten to put in the horizontal stroke of the first drakhma sign, as both Oliver p. 29 and Körte p. 136, n. 3 have observed. The price of the victim is, then, three drakhmai, which is the regular price for pigs, the cheapest of sacrificial victims, in the roughly contemporary Marathonian Calendar (IG 112, 1358, passim), and in Aristophanes (Pax 374:[…]).

Example: The building accounts of the Erekhtheion (409/8 and 408/7) show 1 drakhme a day as the usual wage irrespective of whether the workman was metic, slave or citizen, while in the Eleusinian accounts (329/8) unskilled labourers are recorded as receiving 1½ drakhmai a day and semi-skilled and skilled workers 2 or 2½ drakhmai.
