words

my new vocab:

1. 同人: Japanese "dōjin" amateur publishers
2. 同人誌: Japanese "dōjinshi" product

wikipedia divides product into various types of literary works, as well as music, software, and porno. I became more familiar with the term upon downloading a Japanese dōjinshi video game Subterranean Animism (東方地霊殿, 2008) by Team Shanghai Alice.

3. alethiology: "The science which treats of the nature of truth and evidence." according to thefreedictionary.com
4. intransitive: "Designating a verb or verb construction that does not require or cannot take a direct object, as snow or sleep." ibid.
5. genus: "Latin, kind" ibid.
6. lucubrate: "Latin lucubrare, lucubrat-, to work at night by lamplight;" (ibid.) has since acquired "pretentious" connotation.
