hmmmm... unless I screwed up, there are only two words left on onelook.com
that match the clues, and they're synonyms. of course, I may have screwed up,
or onelook may not have the word =}

Oh. Here, aruba will probably want this:
rokeage \Roke"age\, Rokee \Rok"ee\, n. [Cf. Nocake.] Parched Indian corn,
pounded up and mixed with sugar; -- called also yokeage.

Something tells me the seeds of victory were sown in brighn's last defeat.

Thanks, Mark, though I didn't really care that much. I'm just happy I appear
to have pegged it down. I even debated throwing in some other word here, but
what the Hell, I'll take it.
yokeage (see 1114 for definition)

Okay, Paul, you're up! Don't you just hate it when it comes

Hey Paul, how about starting a new item? This one is well past the
traditonal cutoff point of 1000 responses. (If you start it in the puzzle
conference, make sure it gets linked to language, and vice-versa.)
