Last 2 Letters -- Fun Game! - Part 9

Use the last two letters to start the next word.

Playing off:

ergo
______

godown

ETA: pronounced 'go down'. A very Singaporean word (or, at least, I hadn't heard it before I came here).

gosh

My dictionary has no word starting with wn. Does yours?

>2 Schmerguls: 🤦‍♀️ I was so caught up in setting up the new thread properly that I initially picked the wrong word to play off and typed one beginning with 'er'. In my rush to correct it I just plonked down the first word I could think of without checking the ending. Sorry.

As I'm new to this group and game, are players aiming for a satisfying perpetual chain, or is it a more competitive "stump the next person" objective? (Either way, this is fun!)

oxen

gmathis, welcome. I think it would be easy to stump the next player. I always try to make sure the next play is a possible one. So I avoid words like "singing" and "kind"

My computer underlines this word but my dictionary gives this definition: "hyperbolic cosecant". Now I'll have to look up those words unless some smart person will tell me what a cosecant is. I did not take trig, though my roommate did and I tried understand it but that is over 70 years ago.

yes, there is a word that begins with ng--I checked my dictionary to be sure. In this game any word is supposed to end with two letters that begin a word.

I have always avoided "ing" words because I have thought there were no words in English that begin with "ng". Are these any besides this one, which I suppose is hardly entitled to be called an English word.

>376 Schmerguls: Oh dear; I didn't think about it because I assumed there must be lots of words beginning with IE. I googled it and there are some words (although I don't recognise them) but I can change my word (organza?), if you prefer.

All I know is my dictionary does not have any word starting with ie. What word starting with ie does your dictionary have?
