I am slowly reading Beloved by Toni Morrison. I found this word.
coffle : a train of slaves or animals fastened together.
"Brandywine was leading him, in a coffle with ten others, through Kentucky into Virginia.
I knew what it was as used in the sentence and the entire paragraph, but I had not seen the actual word before. Beloved is a difficult read.
Not any other words. I just subscribed to a Word of the Day email, but the words have not been new to me yet. But I will keep getting it, because I will find a new one eventually.
Glad to be back here today,
Missed some of my other favorite memes due to travel.
That's a new word for me. It's a sad word, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your word. Beloved is a good book. Ms. Toni Morrison is a wonderful author.
