my OED also defines this word as meaning a "pair of connected or correlated things". 
I just thought it was a nice new word.

plus i have difficulty saying it, let alone spelling it and I love words like that.

sorry for triple posting, but this new word of mine has 3 y's in it.

My Oxford English says it's
a conjunction of opposition,
(esp of moon with sun).
It says nothing about 3.  Does your dictionary say it's 3?  Which dictionary?

whatever.
No matter.

I'm either going to mop my floors soon or travel shortly to other getbig boards (I haven't dared go to the other ones since before Christmas...  who is moderating there nowadays?

yep.  I watched the whole of that from my back yard and here's more pictures from the www.


I'll stop with the words now
and go to someplace more serious.

actually, I think I might go to the corner shop and buy 3 beers, it's nearly the weekend.....
and I'm more adept with words with 3 e's!

my OED is 20 years old though and it's only the concise one.
