Adult braconids are really cute! They're smallish and dainty-looking. I used to sequence their DNA for a living (I think I even had one in the Cotesia genus).
1957 E. B. Ford Butterflies (ed. 3) vi. 109 The Ichneumons are again divided between the true Ichneumons (family Ichneumonidae) and the closely related Braconids (family Braconidae).
But let's get back to the wasp-cocoon infestation I mentioned. Those little white rice-looking protuberances on the caterpillar are the cocoons of small braconid wasps (Cotesia congregatus). Earlier, the wasplings had been dining on the innards of the caterpillar, and the caterpillar could do nothing about it. But now that they're pupating, the caterpillar's life is almost over. It will die when the parasitoid wasps emerge. If you see a tomato hornworm so infested, and you hate them, as I do, leave it be. The wasps once hatched will seek out other hornworms. This is nature's way of protecting her tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes
well not quite,if enough people use it it may become a word.recently bonused and bingoed became words that can be used ,zyzzyvaed means he used the program called zyzzyva which scrabblers use so he zyzzyvaed a word does this make sense? Thanks for your interest alexz
Steven Alexander Not sure why there's a need for a cobbled-together list at wordnik when there's a promise (by Elie) of a (sure to be well-done) page by WESPA.
Ganesh Asirvatham Potentially any inspired 9 letter or more play would make the cut. As most of us are aware, knowing the word and spotting the word in open play are two very different concepts. Lewis Mackay played YPSILOID which is relatively easy to find when cardboxing on ZYZZYVA but holding DIIPLOS and looking for a Y to make a bonus is inspired indeed.
David Sutton Eating WATERZOOI is one thing; spotting it as a nine-letter word through two separated floaters is another! But yes, the matter is subjective; doesn't stop it being a potentially entertaining and instructive addition to the WESPA website.
Karen Richards Years ago, I gave out an award for an interesting play at WYSC - this was heavily criticised, to the point where I ceased doing it.. The argument was that it was subjective. I awarded the prize to the player of AUBERGINE, being a 9-letter play, with a strange combination of letters, and nor even a word used in most countries. However, I was told this was nothing special. Just saying, you are getting into an area where people will say .. "but that isn't anything special." We have been eating WATERZOOI all week, incidentally, so I don't see that as particularly interesting
Liz Fagerlund re Nigel's CHLORODYNE, for anyone who doesn't know how this spectacular play was formed, this was played in a club game in 1998 (he only started playing in 1996) with a rack of CDHLNR? - an E at the bottom of the board would have given CHiLDREN or CHaNDLER for 63 points. He played through O_O___E for his amazing 10 letter word; also making ID FY and EN (from the letters of WIFELY above it) for a score of 99 points. I notice looking at a picture of the board in NZ Forwords mag Dec 1998 that if QIN had been a word back then, CHLoRDAN would have played through an A with the N on QI for 76 points.
Allan Simmons A question is whether BRACONID is really a fantastic word to spot or is it more of a bread-and-butter eight at this level. I imagine it's quite a useful eight with no duplicates and no E or S, and to the Scrabbler is no different from the likes of CARBINOL , COLUBRID or the more common CUPBOARD. Of course any 9x played at a critical WSC final quite rightly immediately inherits a lot of kudos and the news reports would be rather drab if the winning word was CUPBOARD
Steven Alexander Dan Pratt's play of KNOT one short of the top right triple (all S's gone, I believe) to set up his subsequent BAN(KNOT)E, in the 1988 North American championship.
Geoff Cooper BRACONID does not have a scrabble score of 13. There is nowhere on the board where you can play it for that score. The sum of the number of points on the tiles which spell BRACONID is 13
Rik Kennedy As a more humble offering, I extended OVERLEAF to CLOVERLEAF at the 4 nations tourney. It was the only way to escape a blocked board and made room for a win from a dead position
Jay Jay Jegatheva Jegathesan well REDUVIID needs to be there... especially as it basically did to Pakorn the word he initially played leaving the U on the board (edit: to go with what Elie Dangoor said...this was from one of their world championship final clashes).. i dont think i need to spell out who played it smile emoticon
It has been suggested to me, in my role as current keeper of the zyzzyva definitions, that BRACONID should now be tagged with ‘as played by Brett Smitheram as a nine-timer in the 2016 WSC’. I don’t myself think that zyzzyva is the place for such commemoration, but it did lead me on to the idea that the WESPA website might have some sort of ‘WESPA Word Hall of Fame’, preserving particularly notable plays for the admiration and edification of us all.
Of course, there are problems. I think that to guarantee integrity and provide context the plays would have to be from recorded games made in a public tournament, and inevitably there is an element of subjectivity: one man’s ‘Wow, BRACONID!’ may be another man’s ‘Well, of course Brett is never going to miss your basic common-or-garden parasitoid wasp’. But I’m sure there have been plays that everyone would agree are spectacular: examples might be WATERZOOI (sorry, I forget who played this) through two floaters, and Nigel Richards playing CHLORODYNE and WORLDSCALE.
Anyway, for what it’s worth I donate the idea if anyone wants to run with it.
David Sutton Yes, what I had in mind were more the beautiful or 'wow!' plays. Beautiful plays are likely to be also significant, but significant plays will not necessarily be beautiful. But, as I say, you can't escape an element of subjectivity: clearly from reactions BRACONID did have quite a wow factor for many people
Zev Kaufman I think you are mixing up two categories of bingos . One is significant plays like BRACONID which secure the world championship but are not difficult finds for experts The other category are beautiful ( and therefore inherently difficult ) finds - especially if you don't know that the opportunity exists.These would include WATERZOOI and CHLORODYNE and the like . If you want to set up a site to record these type of plays, I would suggest you set it up as a puzzle page where you show the board and rack and let the viewer try to find the best play
Antony Thexton Not really my area. Could win the guitar olympics; needs a notes for second dial a la Spinal Tap, Great skill; seen him live, gives good show. However YES live TOOK me somewhere. With Steve, I'm still in the room with someone clever. Satriani has a better tone (for me), and Gilmour has the feel and restraint. SRV floats my boat if I have need for flash and speed (and groove). Our Tommy still tops my list, guitarwise.

Patrick the Wombat: Largest and Oldest Wombat in Captivity Turns 30 and Weighs 79 Pounds
The marsupial is in captivity at Ballarat Wildlife Park in Sydney. The average lifespan for wild wombats is between 15 and 20 years, while the average weight is 32 pounds, a park official said.
When families go out to camps at lakes for ice fishing and goose hunting in May, they travel by snowmobile, pulling a qamutik (sled), staying on snow-covered areas or using coastal sea ice and frozen rivers.
In this case, you give a welfarite an $82,000 house built behind their trailer. They burn it 6 months later and collect the $82,000. That'd be a nice ...
A problem person. A person who thinks they are unique, different and therefor more special that everyone else. Derived from too many parents telling their kids they are "special," like a "snowflake." Typically used by used by those in the customer service or retail industry to refer to bad customers.
That lady was a special snowflake, in a blizzard of other special snowflakes; shes unique, just like everyone else.
intr. Of a (small) dog: to yelp, bark. Hence, of a child or small or insignificant person: to speak in a cheeky or peevish manner; to whinge.
1808 J. Jamieson Etymol. Dict. Sc. Lang. (at cited word), Nyaff, to yelp, to bark. It properly denotes the noise made by a small dog; although sometimes applied to a the pert chat of a saucy child, or of any person of a diminutive appearance.
1907 D. B. Nicolson in J. Horne County Caithness i. iv. 80 Niaff, to yelp, to bark.
1985 M. Munro Patter 50 Nyaff, to yelp; to bark. Applied to the pert chat of a saucy child, or of any diminutive person
The zucchetto (/tsʊˈkɛtoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: t͡sukˈketto;1 Italian: "small gourd", from zucca, "pumpkin",2 figuratively referred to the human head3)
The ant is tenacious, strong, aggressive, generous, and very meticulous. The Ants most pronounced characteristic is patience. An ant can wait patiently for hours, hidden in the sand, for its prey, or it can transport items larger than itself over long distances without giving up. Ants typically live in groups, and everything is done for the ant colony and the good of the community. The ant teaches that you will have everything you need and will receive it when you need it most. It is the symbol of basic trust. It knows that it will ultimately be rewarded for all its efforts. If your activities are for the common good, then you will receive back any energy that you have expended in amplified form. It may be, however, that you will have to put greater effort into the realization of your dreams and use your creativity.
The horse shows both earthly strength and unearthly powers. It is regarded highly throughout the world and connected with the magical powers of shamans. With the help of the horse's speed, a person can cover long distances in a relatively short period of time. The horse has also made transportation of goods a lot easier. It is, therefore, the first and foremost totem animal of civilization. The power of an engine to this day is measured in horsepower. Riding a horse conveys a sense of freedom. It teaches that power cannot be attained by force, but rather that it is given to him who is willing to accept responsibility in a respectful manner. Just as the horse carries its rider on its back, the rider carries responsibility for everything around him. The power of the horse is the wisdom to remember all the steps in one's life and learn from them. This includes experiences from a previous life. Real power is strength used with wisdom. This requires love, compassion, and the willingness to share one's achievements and insights with others. It is important not to let our ego deny us access to this power.
The Parrot is a message of selfishness, self-centeredness and self importance. The Parrot is a showy and brightly colored identity whom has developed a self important illusion about his place in the hierarchy of life, and his journey is that of recognizing the imposter in himself. Parrots love the sound of their own opinionated voice, always trying to be heard over others. Despite the self-centered attitude and loud mouthed nature, Parrot people are mostly harmless, desperate to be acknowledged and seeking the attention that was failed to them in childhood. When Parrot appears it is an indication that there is a journey into the past required to heal the inner child.
The wombat is a totem of resourcefulness, stability and foundation. Wombats have long claws adapted for digging. They teach us how to dig beneath the surface to acquire the resources needed for change. Strong and heavily built, with short powerful legs and strong claws the wombat holds the teachings of stability and foundation. They stand their ground in most situations and are not easily intimidated. Industrious, determined and very smart they have a large brain and know how to use it. These traits are inherent in wombat medicine people yet not always used. Wombat asks you to wake up and use the gifts that are your birth right. Use your will constructively but don't be too pushy in your determination to achieve. Wombats are playful and will folic with what seems like endless energy. They are also quite fast moving when they need to be. Their small ears hear frequencies and sounds unknown to humans and their small eyes can see what lies between the spaces. This indicates that their psychic vision and psychic hearing are fully developed. Those with this totem often find themselves in situations where their psychic skills are tested, criticized, ignored or praised. They are reminded to honor their truth and not be intimidated by others.
The penguin signifies order, purpose and community. Penguins exude an air of properness and good manners, and are community coded where they will walk bolt upright forming several lines denoting a sense of order and purpose, determination and focus. Penguin people bear the same qualities and are bound to become great leaders within their group. Both male and female penguins bow to one another before entering or leaving the nest, and their human counterparts make fine partners and parents. The bow is a behavior demonstrated most often in pairs. Those with the Penguin totem are usually meticulous about their appearance and enjoy life styles related to high society. They are social and feel at ease in any type of situation. The Penguins message is to embrace and understand all realms of life, including the dreamtime (meditative) states. If the Penguin has appeared in your life prepare for a life altering course of mastery, fascination and transformation.

In the medicine wheel, the Echidna takes the place of an innocent child. Its disposition is friendly and loving; it is never the instigator of trouble. If it happens to be attacked by another animal, which rarely occurs, its spines will protect it. The teaching of the Echidna embraces faith and trust. Since faith is said to move mountains, this is a very significant power to have. This animal teaches us to be open, to discover new miracles every day, and to free ourselves from the serious routine world of adults. The Echidna has held on to a child-like sense of wonder and its trust in the divine plan where everything will turn out all right. Its friendliness and openness can unlock the hearts of others in order to share love and joy.
Etymology: The Old English gingiber, gingifer(e are directly < late Latin gingiber = the earlier zingiber(i, < Greek ζιγγίβερις, apparently < Prakrit siŋgabēra < Sanskrit çṛŋgavēra, which has the appearance of a compound of çṛŋga horn and vēra body, but is supposed by Yule to be an etymologizing perversion (suggested by the antler-like form of the root) of a Dravidian name, a prehistoric form of the Malayalam synonym inchi-ver ( < inchi root). The Middle English forms seem to be readoptions chiefly through Old French gimgibre, gingimbre (modern French gingembre) = Provençal gingibre, gingebre, Spanish gengibre, agengibre, Portuguese gengivre, Italian zenzevero, zenzero, gengero, gengiovo.
Other forms of this widely diffused word are Arabic zanjabīl (already in the Qur'an); Middle Dutch gengber (from Spanish or Portuguese) whence Dutch gember; also (with loss of the initial consonant as in German enzian from Latin gentiāna) Middle High German ingewer (German ingwer), Middle Low German engewer, Danish ingefær, Swedish ingefära.
1865 J. R. Lowell Lett. (1894) I. 348 There, by ginger! I meant to give the merest hint of a sentiment, and I have gone splash into a moral.
1. The rhizome of the tropical plant Zingiber officinale, remarkable for its hot spicy taste; used when dried and ground in cookery and as a medicine; also preserved in syrup or candied as a sweetmeat.
noun a camera mounted on an observation tower which registers the smoke and flames from a bushfire and triggers an alert, while also providing a record of activity in the area, as for identifying arsonists.
Yet Americo Castro, who coined the word convivencia to describe the life of the three faiths in the caliphate of Cordoba, wrote, in his book The Structure of Spanish History: "Each of the three peoples of the peninsula saw itself forced to live for eight centuries together with the other two at the same time as it passionately desired their extermination."
“The pukamani poles are of a quality not on show anywhere else in Australia or the world,”
“A set of ornately carved wooden funeral poles are the same style of those still used by the people of the Tiwi Islands for the pukamani ceremony, which is believed to send the soul into the spirit world to live on forever.”
ship-lap n. (a) a form of joint in carpentry made by halving (see quots. and halving n.1 2, and cf. half-lap at lap n.3 2b); (b) boards interlocked by rebates, used esp. for cladding.
1854 A. E. Baker Gloss. Northamptonshire Words, Ship-lap, a carpenter's term for a mode of uniting the end of one piece of wood to the side of another, at right angles, by a bevil-shaped bearing on the upper edge.
1939 W. Faulkner Wild Palms 15 The flimsy walls (they were not even tongue-and-groove..but were of ship-lap).

1992 Farmers Weekly 14 Aug. 44/1 Slugs will have to contend with novel chemistry this autumn, in the form of Genesis, a recently approved molluscicide.
2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.
The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).

But let's get back to the wasp-cocoon infestation I mentioned. Those little white rice-looking protuberances on the caterpillar are the cocoons of small braconid wasps (Cotesia congregatus). Earlier, the wasplings had been dining on the innards of the caterpillar, and the caterpillar could do nothing about it. But now that they're pupating, the caterpillar's life is almost over. It will die when the parasitoid wasps emerge. If you see a tomato hornworm so infested, and you hate them, as I do, leave it be. The wasps once hatched will seek out other hornworms. This is nature's way of protecting her tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes

Ganesh Asirvatham Potentially any inspired 9 letter or more play would make the cut. As most of us are aware, knowing the word and spotting the word in open play are two very different concepts. Lewis Mackay played YPSILOID which is relatively easy to find when cardboxing on ZYZZYVA but holding DIIPLOS and looking for a Y to make a bonus is inspired indeed.

Karen Richards Years ago, I gave out an award for an interesting play at WYSC - this was heavily criticised, to the point where I ceased doing it.. The argument was that it was subjective. I awarded the prize to the player of AUBERGINE, being a 9-letter play, with a strange combination of letters, and nor even a word used in most countries. However, I was told this was nothing special. Just saying, you are getting into an area where people will say .. "but that isn't anything special." We have been eating WATERZOOI all week, incidentally, so I don't see that as particularly interesting

Liz Fagerlund re Nigel's CHLORODYNE, for anyone who doesn't know how this spectacular play was formed, this was played in a club game in 1998 (he only started playing in 1996) with a rack of CDHLNR? - an E at the bottom of the board would have given CHiLDREN or CHaNDLER for 63 points. He played through O_O___E for his amazing 10 letter word; also making ID FY and EN (from the letters of WIFELY above it) for a score of 99 points. I notice looking at a picture of the board in NZ Forwords mag Dec 1998 that if QIN had been a word back then, CHLoRDAN would have played through an A with the N on QI for 76 points.

Allan Simmons A question is whether BRACONID is really a fantastic word to spot or is it more of a bread-and-butter eight at this level. I imagine it's quite a useful eight with no duplicates and no E or S, and to the Scrabbler is no different from the likes of CARBINOL , COLUBRID or the more common CUPBOARD. Of course any 9x played at a critical WSC final quite rightly immediately inherits a lot of kudos and the news reports would be rather drab if the winning word was CUPBOARD

..
It has been suggested to me, in my role as current keeper of the zyzzyva definitions, that BRACONID should now be tagged with ‘as played by Brett Smitheram as a nine-timer in the 2016 WSC’. I don’t myself think that zyzzyva is the place for such commemoration, but it did lead me on to the idea that the WESPA website might have some sort of ‘WESPA Word Hall of Fame’, preserving particularly notable plays for the admiration and edification of us all.
Of course, there are problems. I think that to guarantee integrity and provide context the plays would have to be from recorded games made in a public tournament, and inevitably there is an element of subjectivity: one man’s ‘Wow, BRACONID!’ may be another man’s ‘Well, of course Brett is never going to miss your basic common-or-garden parasitoid wasp’. But I’m sure there have been plays that everyone would agree are spectacular: examples might be WATERZOOI (sorry, I forget who played this) through two floaters, and Nigel Richards playing CHLORODYNE and WORLDSCALE.
Anyway, for what it’s worth I donate the idea if anyone wants to run with it.
September 6, 2016
kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble
David Sutton Yes, what I had in mind were more the beautiful or 'wow!' plays. Beautiful plays are likely to be also significant, but significant plays will not necessarily be beautiful. But, as I say, you can't escape an element of subjectivity: clearly from reactions BRACONID did have quite a wow factor for many people
September 6, 2016
kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble
Zev Kaufman I think you are mixing up two categories of bingos . One is significant plays like BRACONID which secure the world championship but are not difficult finds for experts The other category are beautiful ( and therefore inherently difficult ) finds - especially if you don't know that the opportunity exists.These would include WATERZOOI and CHLORODYNE and the like . If you want to set up a site to record these type of plays, I would suggest you set it up as a puzzle page where you show the board and rack and let the viewer try to find the best play

galah
The word galah is a borrowing into Australian English from the Aboriginal
Yuwaalaraay language of northern New South Wales. In early records it is
variously spelt as galar, gillar, gulah, etc. It is first recorded in 1862
in J. McKinlay's Journal of Exploration in the Interior of Australia: `A
vast number of gulahs, curellas, macaws... here'. The bird referred to is
the grey-backed, pink-breasted cockatoo Eolophus roseicapillus, occurring in
all parts of Australia except the extreme north-east and south-west. It is
also known as the red-breasted cockatoo and rose-breasted cockatoo.
Some early settlers use the galah as food. In 1902 the Truth newspaper
reports: 'The sunburnt residents of at that God-forsaken outpost of
civilisation were subsisting on stewed galah and curried crow'. Some writers
report that galah pie was a popular outback dish.
The galah, which usually appears in a large flock, has a raucous call, and
it was perhaps this trait which produced the term galah session for a period
allocated for private conversation, especially between women on isolated
stations, over an outback radio network. F. Flynn in Northern Gateway (1963)
writes: 'The women's radio hour, held regularly night and morning and
referred to everywhere as the 'Galah Session'. It is a special time set
aside for lonely station women to chat on whatever subject they like'. More
generally, a galah session is 'a long chat' - A. Garve, Boomerang (1969):
'For hours the three men chatted... It was Dawes who said at last, "I reckon
this galah session's gone on long enough".'
Very commonly in Australian English galah is used to refer to a fool or
idiot. A.R. Marshall and R. Drysdale in Journey among Men (1962), suggest
that this sense of galah may have a non-Australian origin: 'A clue to the
possible origin of the slang usage of 'galah'. In Malaya gila (pronounced
gee-lah) means mad; hence orang gila, a madman'. But this explanation has
not been accepted, and the Australian meaning must be a transfer from the
bird, no doubt incorporating a judgment about the relative intelligence of
the bird. The following citations give an indication of how the term is
used:
1951 E. Lambert, Twenty Thousand Thieves: 'Yair, and I got better ideas than
some of the galahs that give us our orders'.
1960 R.S. Porteous, Cattleman: 'The bloke on the other end of the line is
only some useless galah tryin' to sell a new brand of dip'.
1971 J. O'Grady, Aussie Etiket: 'You would be the greatest bloody galah this
side of the rabbit-proof fence'.
>From this sense arise a number of colloquial idioms. To be mad as a gum-tree
full of galahs is to be completely crazy. To make a proper galah of oneself
is to make a complete fool of oneself. A pack of galahs is a group of
contemptibly idiotic people.

The ant is tenacious, strong, aggressive, generous, and very meticulous. The Ants most pronounced characteristic is patience. An ant can wait patiently for hours, hidden in the sand, for its prey, or it can transport items larger than itself over long distances without giving up. Ants typically live in groups, and everything is done for the ant colony and the good of the community. The ant teaches that you will have everything you need and will receive it when you need it most. It is the symbol of basic trust. It knows that it will ultimately be rewarded for all its efforts. If your activities are for the common good, then you will receive back any energy that you have expended in amplified form. It may be, however, that you will have to put greater effort into the realization of your dreams and use your creativity.

kalayzich commented on the list horses--1
The horse shows both earthly strength and unearthly powers. It is regarded highly throughout the world and connected with the magical powers of shamans. With the help of the horse's speed, a person can cover long distances in a relatively short period of time. The horse has also made transportation of goods a lot easier. It is, therefore, the first and foremost totem animal of civilization. The power of an engine to this day is measured in horsepower. Riding a horse conveys a sense of freedom. It teaches that power cannot be attained by force, but rather that it is given to him who is willing to accept responsibility in a respectful manner. Just as the horse carries its rider on its back, the rider carries responsibility for everything around him. The power of the horse is the wisdom to remember all the steps in one's life and learn from them. This includes experiences from a previous life. Real power is strength used with wisdom. This requires love, compassion, and the willingness to share one's achievements and insights with others. It is important not to let our ego deny us access to this power.

PARROT (ROSELLA/LORIKEET)
The Parrot is a message of selfishness, self-centeredness and self importance. The Parrot is a showy and brightly colored identity whom has developed a self important illusion about his place in the hierarchy of life, and his journey is that of recognizing the imposter in himself. Parrots love the sound of their own opinionated voice, always trying to be heard over others. Despite the self-centered attitude and loud mouthed nature, Parrot people are mostly harmless, desperate to be acknowledged and seeking the attention that was failed to them in childhood. When Parrot appears it is an indication that there is a journey into the past required to heal the inner child.

They teach us how to dig beneath the surface to acquire the resources needed for change. Strong and heavily built, with short powerful legs and strong claws the wombat holds the teachings of stability and foundation. They stand their ground in most situations and are not easily intimidated. Industrious, determined and very smart they have a large brain and know how to use it. These traits are inherent in wombat medicine people yet not always used. Wombat asks you to wake up and use the gifts that are your birth right. Use your will constructively but don't be too pushy in your determination to achieve. Wombats are playful and will folic with what seems like endless energy. They are also quite fast moving when they need to be. Their small ears hear frequencies and sounds unknown to humans and their small eyes can see what lies between the spaces. This indicates that their psychic vision and psychic hearing are fully developed. Those with this totem often find themselves in situations where their psychic skills are tested, criticized, ignored or praised. They are reminded to honor their truth and not be intimidated by others.

kalayzich commented on the list penguins--1
The penguin signifies order, purpose and community. Penguins exude an air of properness and good manners, and are community coded where they will walk bolt upright forming several lines denoting a sense of order and purpose, determination and focus. Penguin people bear the same qualities and are bound to become great leaders within their group. Both male and female penguins bow to one another before entering or leaving the nest, and their human counterparts make fine partners and parents. The bow is a behavior demonstrated most often in pairs. Those with the Penguin totem are usually meticulous about their appearance and enjoy life styles related to high society. They are social and feel at ease in any type of situation. The Penguins message is to embrace and understand all realms of life, including the dreamtime (meditative) states. If the Penguin has appeared in your life prepare for a life altering course of mastery, fascination and transformation.

kalayzich commented on the list echidna
ECHIDNA
In the medicine wheel, the Echidna takes the place of an innocent child. Its disposition is friendly and loving; it is never the instigator of trouble. If it happens to be attacked by another animal, which rarely occurs, its spines will protect it. The teaching of the Echidna embraces faith and trust. Since faith is said to move mountains, this is a very significant power to have. This animal teaches us to be open, to discover new miracles every day, and to free ourselves from the serious routine world of adults. The Echidna has held on to a child-like sense of wonder and its trust in the divine plan where everything will turn out all right. Its friendliness and openness can unlock the hearts of others in order to share love and joy.

kalayzich commented on the list ginger--1
Etymology: The Old English gingiber, gingifer(e are directly < late Latin gingiber = the earlier zingiber(i, < Greek ζιγγίβερις, apparently < Prakrit siŋgabēra < Sanskrit çṛŋgavēra, which has the appearance of a compound of çṛŋga horn and vēra body, but is supposed by Yule to be an etymologizing perversion (suggested by the antler-like form of the root) of a Dravidian name, a prehistoric form of the Malayalam synonym inchi-ver ( < inchi root). The Middle English forms seem to be readoptions chiefly through Old French gimgibre, gingimbre (modern French gingembre) = Provençal gingibre, gingebre, Spanish gengibre, agengibre, Portuguese gengivre, Italian zenzevero, zenzero, gengero, gengiovo.
Other forms of this widely diffused word are Arabic zanjabīl (already in the Qur'an); Middle Dutch gengber (from Spanish or Portuguese) whence Dutch gember; also (with loss of the initial consonant as in German enzian from Latin gentiāna) Middle High German ingewer (German ingwer), Middle Low German engewer, Danish ingefær, Swedish ingefära.

2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.
The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).
