note: the rare short words were truly in the book dictionary. however the dictionary often showed bad vague or tricky definitions which I deciphered and wrote my own description based on the idea in the dictionary. a dictionary is bad if it offers a synonym or alternative word for the definition because that IS the purpose of different book= thesaurus but not a dictionary which should "describe the idea" so I fixed the definition description- at least for the short words with similar idea as dictionary but less tricky.
the word list is an aid for the story in nearby post
