A Fistful of Alabandical

Well, hard to say.  The Oxford Concise (which is what I have handy) shows
a pronounced 'h', and ditto for the various definitions at
dictionary.com, but then again, they all spell it "homunculus".  So I
have no idea how to pronounce "homonculus", which I think is some kind of
an alabaster decoy.
