I forgot to mention – in my first game of "Literati" yesterday, my opponent attempted two interesting words: "Stoor", and "Coag". I was quite skeptical of these during the game, but afterwards I discovered, amazingly enough, that both were genuine.
From Google (which led me to dict.die.net, a dictionary that seems more comprehensive than many), I discovered that stoor was a relative of "stir", and meant, quote, "to rise up in clouds, as dust" (I presume you could stoor flour in a mill as well) and coag was a carpenter's term for a dowel or tenon connecting two timbers. (The distinction between calling something a "coag" and calling it a "tenon" was not explained – perhaps "coag" is simply more general, referring also to third pieces that connect.)
