Today's words

saponaceous \sap-uh-NAY-shus\ - resembling or having the qualities of soap
A word I looked at with a "Huh?"  A definition I looked at with an "Oh, yeah, that's right."
imbricate \IM-brih-kut\ - lying lapped over each other in regular order
And another word I think I've probably at least seen once before; this one I don't think I could have pronounced, let alone defined. If I can remember its pronunciation when I see it, I'll probably be more likely to remember its meaning. (I remember thinking before, though, that this would be the key, and it didn't work this time.)
