Well, I love to keep thinking and dish out more such inventions. But nothing's fun when you play alone. We are a few friendly neigbours meeting for tea everyday, and we often invite others to join. But taste varies, for sure! Come what may, we will play, perhaps not everyday from now onwards. It's a tripartite tie in wordology terms between Utpal, Priyanka and Bandita. Excellent meanings, but this time Utpal was short of admirers, I guess! Priyanka's meaning was quite close to negativity as the real.
Harpy is a malicious woman with a fierce temper. Also, large black-and-white crested eagle of tropical America or any of various fruit bats distinguished by nostrils drawn out into diverging tubes.
Looking forward to your inventions. And yes, you can also comment on your friends' invented meanings.

ReplyDeleteAstir is Americanized Assamese for "Asthir", now in common English usage (Approve by KHASNAT's lexicon) meaning a restless person....for example - he is so astir, he can't sit still in one place for a moment...or he is astir and perpetually fiddles with his mobile phone without a reason.
