Note that "Wiccan" is another of those "proper adjectives". According
to M-W it can also be a noun...

Is Wicca a proper noun? Hmmm, I find at least one web site that claims
religions and philosphies are proper nouns. So "Communism" is a proper
noun too. Is "Evolution"? Weird.

In M-W.com, "Wicca" is a noun and "Wiccan" can be a noun (but also an
adjective)

Please provide a cite for "gymbal". I looked in 3 dictionaries
and could not find it.

(based on a brief web search, ("gymbal" appears to a British variant of
"gimbal.")

Thanks for the cites. Note that if you guess a variant that
might be difficult to find, it is helpful to the scorer (and
your cause in solving the puzzle) if you provide the cite with
the guess, or at least a clue (e.g. gymbal (var of gimbal)).

Actually, I didn't look it up. I thought that was how "gimbal" was
spelled. Terribly sorry.
