More New Words

I have an odd habit of reading the dictionary when I open it up to find a word. I'm always interested in expanding my vocabulary. I've noticed that there are many unused letter combinations that could become new words and that these sometimes fall between two already existing words. Between reef and reek there can be three new words (underlined below). Between ree and reed another two, and so on.... | I'm sure if I went thru the dictionary I could find hundreds if not thousands of of these interstitial new words but I've only written a few of them down. Or did I type them up? :-P
These words below are some of the ones I made up just for fun. I don't really have much time for these word games anymore but I did enjoy them when i did. So....here they are for your amusement----


reeb, reec, (reed), (reef), reeg , reeh , reej , (reek) , (reel) , reem , reen , reep , reeq reer , rees ,

Really? I remember reading somewhere that Absinthe was available again after being banned for many years. Doesn't it have poison in it? (something more potent than the alcohol. :-P) Maybe that's what is driving you to madness, My unhatted frend. :-D

Also, I googled Pernizh Absinthe and nothing came up. Is that the right spelling?

Sorry, was on a short vacation.
Nope, it was a stupid wordplay using your word Pernizh - Pernot and a supposed drunk pronunciation.
