Another Great Verb

elucidate. to shine light upon, to illuminate.

Other great words:

1. peculiar


2. awkward (what a fun spelling! an awkward word to type, for sure!)


3. munch


4. mauka and


5. makai. they mean toward the mountain and toward the sea, respectively, which sometimes make more sense on an island than plain old east, north, west, and south.
