Ten Word Tuesday

This here is something new that I am interested in trying- It's called 10 word Tuesday, and it is when I will state 10 words, their definitions, parts of speech, and maybe a connection. Please comment your thoughts!

1. Amative
Inclined to love- adjective
Roslyn Royel [Life in Mill Halley] is a very amative girl.
Oh, just you wait to hear about Roslyn's love life.


2. Nimiety
excess; overabundance- noun
ni-mahy-i-tee
To connect this to writing in general- NaNoWriMo produces a nimiety of words.

3. Aeonian
eternal, everlasting- adjective
So I found this cool picture. It doesn't exactly work for aeonian, but it is pretty cool and could continue forever.


4. Ludic
Playful in an aimless way- adjective
Oh, my ludic friends. I can't wait to use this one on them. And this is a picture of a playground where ludic kids may play...


5. Clinquant
glittering- adjective
Okay, I just HAD to give you this word. It means glittery! What's life without a little sparkle?

6. Oneirataxia
inability to distinguish dreams or fantasy from real life- It has a Greek origin
In other words, Linnette Birdie
Here is some fantasy to brighten up your day- but don't get it confused with real life!

7. Celerity
Swiftness, Speed- Noun
Makes me think of Olympic track runners... Or, it could be for writers! Thomas writes with a celerity as clean as soap.

Nope. Bad analogy.



8. Encomium
Formal Expression of high praise- noun
See Life in Mill Halley- 5. Or a graduation ceremony.

9. Nugatory
of no real value, worthless- adjective
Counterfeit money, replica's, some writing

10. Pugnacious 
inclined to fight- adjective
See Ginny Weasley in the 7th Harry Potter book. Also Tonks. And about a million other people.
Or these underfed chickens.

Are they even chickens?
