I think it means exhibition of tents of Hottentots. Because I pieced several parts of the phrase together......it is a valid word too.

I know it from some corrections courses I took a while back.

I know the answer, but won't divulge same, in case you were looking for someone else's answer. ;)

How about: Quotidian?

Commonplace. I know this because I'm South Asian and it's used to describe malaria all the time. :)

Then I would imagine in southeast Asia malaria is indeed a quotidian occurrence. ;)

How about apodictical?

Can you show apodictically that apodictical is a proper word?

Please give an apodictic reference.

Boy, that&#39;s a tough one.

Let&#39;s see....

Smashing one&#39;s thumb with a large mallet would apodictically force one to draw the conclusion the ensuing pain was unavoidable, and the sensation suffered therefrom apodictical; the apodictic truth of this brooks no dissent.



Klutzy, I admit, but the best I could do, as I just woke up. :)

Lynx, you are a tester&#33;

There&#39;s a place with a name longer than that, it&#39;s either in the UK, US, Europe, the Americas, or the Eastern hemisphere. :ninja:
