The list is behind the cut, but here is picture of the only semi-aquatic antelope. Who would have thought that antelopes would live in swamps. They dive underwater, with just their nose up to breathe, in order to avoid predators.

My plane is going to be flying in to Orlando around 11 PM Thursday the 24th.  I do not as yet have anywhere to stay.

Whoops.

I wanted to wait to post a plea of help on CGP cause, well, cause they're all weirdos. 

Just kidding.

If anyone else is flying in early (or knows someone who is) and might have room on a floor somewhere for a completely normal and clean guy to sleep that would be stupendous.   Or, if anyone else is in the same situation and wants to split a room, let me know.  Reply here or send me an e-mail to aibretty at gmail. 

Any help is very much appreciated.


PS - I could just switch my ticket, but I imagine any option that arises this way will be significantly cheaper than the fee from Southwest.

Today, not an antelope, the SJAMBOK.


 
Thus my little series comes to an end.
There will be a SOWPODS only supplement to be posted shortly, then a review list with alphagrams.
Hope you have enjoyed this little excursion into the world of the antelope.

This is largest of the goat-antelope family, the MUSKOX



The plural is MUSKOXEN.

The MUSKOX has a two layer coat,  the soft undercoat is QIVIUT.

 With a nod to aibrettyand magratheazaphodThe CHAMOIS has a wealth of polyorths* :

The nouns are CHAMOIX and SHAMOIS, they do not have plural forms.

The verbs are CHAMOIS, CHAMMY, SHAMOY and SHAMMY.

SO the complete CHAMOIS list in alphabetical order:

CHAMMIED
CHAMMIES
CHAMMY
CHAMMYING

CHAMOIS
CHAMOISED
CHAMOISES
CHAMOISING

CHAMOIX

SHAMMIED
SHAMMIES
SHAMMY
SHAMMYING

SHAMOIS

SHAMOY
SHAMOYED
SHAMOYING

 Another of the goat-antelopes that should be familiar: the CHAMOIS.



The leather from a CHAMOIS is called CHAMOIS or CHAMOIX.

The process of tanning leather from a CHAMOIS is to CHAMOIS, so it is also a verb: CHAMOIS, CHAMOISING, CHAMOISED, CHAMOISES.

One anagram - CHAMISO

 Another useful little word: the TAHR

Unlike it's anagrams, it doesn't have a front hook (HART and RATH)



This is a young animal, they develop a very heavy "mane" as they get older.
