atocia 2 (kentn)
As Rane said, Thalia seems to be capitalized (at least in M-W), so it's not
eligible.

otaria (type genus of the Otariidae); can't tell if it is only capitalised.

otaria isn't in m-w; can anyone else tell if it needs to be capitalized?

The fact that you can't automatically score it is also useful information.

It doesn't add that much, since it only says that it isn't the right word,
and we know that from #783.
Continuing the --alia assumption:
qualia

I only got it because you weren't allowed to guess. *pout*
*wink*
For those interested, qualia:realia::quality:reality, very roughly speaking.
Plato's metaphor of the cave was about qualia.
Anyhow... I'm thinking of a word which isn't
qualia 0 (lastword)

From M-W:
Function: noun
Usage: often capitalized
Etymology: Late Latin mammona, from Greek mamOna, from Aramaic mAmOnA riches
Date: 15th century
People seem to be on a trend to flirting with the "proper noun" rule. ;} But
MW does says "often" not "always," so:
mammon 0 (gelinas)
brutal 0 (blaise)
