barranca /bə-ˈraŋ-kə/ - 1. a deep gully or arroyo with steep sides 2. a steep bank or bluff
sternutation /ˌstər-nyə-ˈtā-shən/ - the act or sound of sneezing
winze /ˈwinz/ - a steeply inclined passageway in a mine
And a familiar, to me, WOTD today:
peregrinate /PAIR-uh-gruh-nayt/ - 1. to travel especially on foot : walk 2. to walk or travel over : traverse
I wrote a poem once, that I can't seem to find right now, which included the line, "Strong chains do bind this peregrine heart."
