New and fifth appointment with the column on the words found during my readings. Words never heard, for the most part, or even forgotten because they are not commonly used. This time the ten words I propose all come from the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. Counterrande : Found on page 10 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. The mainsail is a small sail, which sits above another called the mainsail. Fucus : Found on page 13 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. It is a very common marine algae.
Dropsy : Found on page 20 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. It is the collection of fluids inside the skin. Dry Up : Found on page 57 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. It has the Special Data same meaning as drying. Affè : found on page 71 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. It means in faith, in truth. It has been used since 1470. Camping : Found on page 73 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. Since this is a novel about pirates, this word obviously cannot refer to tourist facilities. Instead, it is an evergreen tree. It also indicates the wood of the same tree. Resipiscence : Found on page 85 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton.
Indicates the recognition of an error or evil committed, with consequent repentance. Camole : found on page 87 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. Another name for woodworms and moths. Sagri : found on page 87 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. Here it is written without an accent, but I doubt it means "sacred". Perhaps it is sagrì, tanned horse, donkey or mule skin. Halyards : Found on page 98 of the novel Pirate Island by Michael Crichton. These are the current maneuvers for hoisting and lowering the sails. They are basically ropes, so to speak.
