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.)
