Langblr Reactivation Challenge 1.4
Create a vocab list for one of the topics you created yesterday, if you want to make more, feel free to make as many as you like! Share your list and reblog other people’s lists. And most importantly, make sure you study these words!

I also discovered a Gaelic word I absolutely love -- caileadaireachd, which means star-gazing, prognostication, and also apparently chemistry and philosophy, so I assume it's a fairly catch-all word for historical science that I'm now very curious about!
