and I'll add again that I've only ever found up to "M" in this series - if they went N-Z, I'd love to see them.

"Illth"—now there's a word I've never heard. Wonder why?

It's largely the creation of one man, that's why, as an opposite of wealth (in the meaning of weal (- the common weal). Never caught on.

Illth? That's a new one to me. I will have to incorporate it into my vocabulary as I keep getting illthier every day!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the connection between Invention and space aliens.

I don't care if Ionol is safe or not; I don't want it touching my doughnuts. I looked it up and the only reason I'm posting this link is because of the warning about the source of information:

LOL of course that's the most factual unbiased definition ever. :D

IKR? Why would the fact that it's from a "Soviet" source necessarily make it non-credible? It's a scientific definition, not political ideology.

That IS a safe boiler-plate to slap on anything that comes from the Soviet dictionary though. They probably don't want to vet every single definition, so better safe than sorry.
