I have a nagging sense that I may have already published some of these. But since I didn’t remember the definitions when I looked them up, I decided that repetition can be good.

1. Bindlestiff – “hobo, one who carries his clothes or bedding in a bundle”
2. Timbre – “the quality given to a sound by its overtones”
3. Loll – “to hang loosely or laxly, droop”, “to act or move in a lax, lazy, or indolent manner, lounge”
4. Umiak – “an open Eskimo boat made of a wooden frame covered with hide”
5. Scow – “a large flat-bottomed boat with broad square ends used chiefly for transporting bulk material (as ore, sand, or refuse)”
6. Earwig – “any of numerous insects (order Dermaptera) having slender many-jointed antennae and a pair of cerci resembling forceps at the end of the body” (Just the name makes me cringe!)
7. Krait – “any of a genus (Bungarus) of brightly banded extremely venomous nocturnal elapid snakes of Pakistan, India, southeastern Asia, and adjacent islands”
8. Moppet – child
9. Nudnik –  “a person who is a bore or nuisance”
