The UNIX spell checker accepts berefts, but Merriam-Webster on the web doesn't
seem to accept it. So happyboy can decide to accept it or not. If not, pick
a new work. If so, the path to continue is clear...

Good word kami, but sounds like a proper noun (a name). Although the rules
don't explicity mention "no names", that was the intent. After gyros, I found
only one more next word...

I found two: gyro (see gyroscope or gyrocompass) or gyre - a circular or
spiral motion. There is also gyrus - a convoluted ridge between anatomical
grooves. Let's do gyrus. (Webster's Seventh Collegiate).Stedman's Medical
Dictionary lists a page and a quarter in small print of different types of
gyrus: ennectent g., cingulate g., occipitotemporal g., fusiform g.... Many
or most are in the cerebrum.
gyrus
(Oops, gyre does not count).

Can we play a multilingual version of this? Kurs is exchange rate in Serbian.
Otherwise I am stumped.
