What's with these obscure nouns...although I do rather like this one.

Barbary sheep. Although rare in their native habitat (presumably) they have been successfully introduced in many places. It seems it is not technically a sheep but is considered one. Typically hunted, although I would be quite interested in seeing one of these alive.


Now I have a new image of what "a sheep" could look like in scripture :D

errr...the canyon of de crescent moon? When one makes a croissant and straightens it?!?


Ah that makes more sense. Crest (like a wave) and the falling action. I would be interested if this ever has had a literary application.

decrescent: To become less by gradual diminution. Wane like the moon, diminish, descreasing. (adjective)


I suppose decrescendo should have given me a clue.
