Dictionary
The addendum


I've often been struck wordless, finding a situation where I need a word better than what's available. Usually this is just because I've got a mental block around the word I want, but on a few odd occasions it's because there is no such word. Here, then, is my dictionary addendum.
Today I start it with a mere few words. As, in future, I'm struck by more blank moments, I may add more words to this page.

entrothed n. A person treated as a spouse without being one. Most often used to describe an entwiced partner.
entwice v. To undergo a ritual like marriage without the connotations of religion or law. (entwiced adj. As 'married' is to 'marry'.)
escinous adj. Giving the impression of niceness, purely to dispel confrontation or dislike.
pank n. Any unpleasant substance. adj. Very unpleasant.
sesh v. To come very close to crying, while knowing no tears will be forthcoming, often accompanied by swallowing repeatedly. (seshing, seshes)
twiver v. An involuntary shaking movement, as the result of a pleasurable cause. (As she stroked his face, he twivered).
twiversome adj. Being a cause, or potential cause, of twivering. (A twiversome glance).
