asphyxiating

Senses:

examples: If one digs a deep pit and another comes and broadens it, and an ox falls into it and dies, the rule is as follows: If the ox dies as a result of the asphyxiating atmosphere of the pit, the second person is exempt because his action has rendered the atmosphere less asphyxiating. If, however, it dies as a result of concussion, he is liable since he has increased the likelihood that the pit will cause this damage.
Jeune syndrome, or asphyxiating chondrodystrophy, is an extreme form of mixed pectus excavtum/carinatum and is very rare.
Most fire safety analyses will focus on asphyxiating gases (and generally just CO and CO2).
To this it was answered —and, as it seemed to me, with force—that asphyxiating bombs might be used against towns for the destruction of vast numbers of non-combatants, including women and children, while torpedoes at sea are used only against the military and naval forces of the enemy.
gloss: Restrictive; stifling; preventing emotional or behavioral expression.
pos: adj

This work finds expression also in ongoing struggles to survive the asphyxiating emotional cultures against which protesting students rose up – including against what Shose Kessi referred to as the stifling ways in which white feeling excludes and silences “under the guise of 'logical reasoned argument'."
This, together with continous demands for displays of love, affection, and continuous contact makes them vulnerable to establishing pathological, asphyxiating, and unbalanced couple relationships (Castelló, 2005).
gloss: Overwhelming; breathtaking.
pos: adj
examples: But according to Gauchet's thesis, Christianity has proven to be 'a religion for departing from religion' (ibid. 4); the gradual emancipation from and death of God has trained and conditioned us Westerners to withstand the asphyxiating terror of freedom.
Deeply buried emotional wounds were now on the surface; wounds manifesting themselves by the manner we were both breathing heavily, lest we pass out from asphyxiating emotional pain.
Asphyxiating arches catch the breath And numb the senses of all who sought the lost prize.
It might cause shame to know on an intellectual level that this asphyxiating fear is, in reality, irrational.

Nosferatu
Part of speech: noun

Etymology: Possibly from a Romanian word for vampire (cf. nesuferit). The term achieved popular currency through Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula and F. W. Murnau's 1922 German film Nosferatu. See also: Wikipedia's article on the etymology of the word (and the references there).

examples: "Friend Arthur, if you had met that kiss [...] you would in time, when you had died, have become nosferatu, as they call it in Eastern Europe, and would all time make more of those Un-Deads that so have filled us with horror."
Those of us who have dabbled much in the lore of the nosferatu tend to think of them as imaginative creations of the German and English Romantics, and not without reason.
While it may have been capable of flight, it almost certainly spent its time on Hateg crawling about on its wrists, with its great leathery wings folded over its body like a shroud. A gigantic kind of Nosferatu comes to mind.

examples: Writers who overload their sentences with nominalizations tend to sound pompous and abstract.
All words have argument structures. The argument structure of many nouns—such as names—is empty: We don’t need other words to complete them. But singular count nouns need a determiner to the left. And nominalizations of verbs have argument structures to follow. For example, a noun like destruction has a similar argument structure as its corresponding verb destroy: […]
gloss: The act or process of nominalizing; the use of such a noun.

examples: The positive use of the feminine noun une rien has been gradually replaced by the nominalization of the pronoun and the adverb that commonly serve as negative auxiliaries, rien, un rien: “The word offers a short version of the evolution of the etymological meaning of chose inverted as néant (c. 1530)” (RT: DHLF)[…]
Nominalization and agentless passives have attracted sustained attention in critical linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), where, it is argued, they ‘mystify’, i.e., reduce reader comprehension of, the role of social actors in depictions of events, particularly in news media discourse.
Nominalization is a common feature of a more scientific style of writing and is used as an additional measure for syntactic complexity.
