Amelia Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 OK gang, the point of this one is to take the last 2-3 letters of the previous word to make a new word.

Moderators Bravus Posted April 4, 2005 Moderators Posted April 4, 2005 Erm, 'pedantry' doesn't begin with the last few letters of 'lark' (I see your pedantry and raise. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) I'm not sure there's a word that does, actually (no paper dictionary handy). Most English words seem to use 'arc'... Edit: ... except 'Arkansas'! Quote Truth is important
Moderators Nan Posted April 4, 2005 Moderators Posted April 4, 2005 there is ark ....can begin and end with the same letters I guess. Quote
Moderators Bravus Posted April 4, 2005 Moderators Posted April 4, 2005 Nan - except that would leave us in the same quandary! But we can interpose 'ark' between 'lark' and 'Arkansas' without breaking the thread! Quote Truth is important

Neil D Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Ok, I am not sure how we got to "TRYptanol " and "Arkansas" so, I will go with the last work which is TRYptanol....Got to find a word with "nol" or "ol" [according to the rules]....

Administrators Gail Posted April 4, 2005 Administrators Posted April 4, 2005 You guys are going to have to straighten me out here. Are we to use the last 3 letters, last 2, or does it matter? I guess with the rules that we've been playing by, it might not... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Moderators Bravus Posted April 4, 2005 Moderators Posted April 4, 2005 ishtar (and yes, I think we've been consistently using either the last 2 or 3!) I think that fits the spirit if not the letter of the original idea Amelia posted) Quote Truth is important
