mool
very slowly with the coding. oh well. maybe it'll pick up tomorrow. meh.
chatting with ubergreenkat, we were talking about knitting and other needlework when I wrote, "loom is mool backwards" to which she replied, "yes, but mool is not a word".
so we played around with definitions for it, including what it would be called at Hogwarts... a winged mule? some sort of backwards knitting technique? a machine that undoes weaving?
anyway. we finally decided it was wool from a cow.
but. then. I did more searching and found this definition on infoplease.com:
mool
Pronunciation: (mOOl), [key]
-n. Scot. and North Eng.
1. soft, crumbly soil rich in mold or humus.
2. earth from or for a grave.
3. a grave.
D'oh! it IS a word!!! and a rather morbid one at that.
but we still like the whole wool from cow thing.
So I decided that "mool" is wool from a dead cow, shorn by a bovine reaper, at midnight under a full moon.
and it is the material from which invisibility cloaks are woven.
