Pierre and Ranjit both recognized realgar and orpiment as minerals --
they are in fact both sulfides of arsenic, with orpiment being a pretty
yellow and realgar a very beautiful gemlike red crystal. But both very
soft. And toxic.
Let's see, what else do I have... okay, same deal, twlo closely related
words:
*detinue**
**replevin*
Let me know if you are familiar with either, or submit definitions for
both. (I don't really expect these to go unrecognized.)
