I've often been struck wordless, finding a situation where I need a
word better than what's available. Usually this is just because I've got
a mental block around the word I want, but on a few odd occasions it's
because there is no such word. Here, then, is my dictionary addendum.
As, in future, I'm struck by more blank moments, I may add more
words to this page.
