I'm going to go for random guess this week (too lazy to look it up, truth-be-told). Prandicle, noun: a type of short bow made namely from an adder, with a length of spiders' web for the bow string. To use this bizaare weapon, one is required to throw it very hard at your attacker, and hope it does some damage, because - frankly - shooting an arrow from it won't do you the slightest good. Taken from "Ashnel Alashia's Guide to Mossflower" (abridged version (a lot of the sarcasm was removed to make it shorter)).

*Clears her throat.* I have looked this up in Bramble Bristleback's Official Dictionary of the Bramblish Language, and it says 'A small boat filled with whoopee cushions'. I think he's stuck 'prank' and 'coracle' together. But I wouldn't bet on it. I'm going to kill that hedgehog one day! *Grinds her teeth together.*

prandicle (verb): A prandicle, in short, takes almost all of the word 'prance' where you hop or skip around, usually happy. Then, they add the 'd' because the people of the time wanted to sound smart and scientific when they could really just say 'sickle'. They remove the 's' and replace it with a 'd', therefore upping up their ego and also removing the 'k' for reasons unknown to men. (Like, why the heck is Lochness Monster spelled with an h and not k?) Thus, it is simply prancing around with a sickle. And because they are happy, the most simple conclusion would be to assume that they have recently purchased this weed chopping device. Now, kids, I'd like to warn about the art of the prandicle. It is dangerous, and if you lose control of the sickle, don't cry to me after your leg is on the ground.
Um ... wow. That's all I can say.

Like, why the heck is Lochness Monster spelled with an h and not k?) Because the Loch Ness Monster is in a Loch, which is a honkin' big body of water like one of the Great Lakes, but in the North. And I think it connects to the sea. Loch is a Scottish or Irish word, meaning....Lake, I think.)Having consulted Lonas accordingly, I now have this definition.... prandicle (n) - a rare species of barnacle which grows in the north seas, often on rocks or buoys. see barnacle gooseprandicle (v) - the act of hatching or growing from a prandicle or barnacle.

OOC: It's Scottish, point of fact, and Tinsy is correct; it means lake. The name of said lake is Loch Ness, hence the Loch Ness Monster.

Well, it's been a very long fortnight *ahem*, but time's up!
The definition of prandicle is actually 'a small meal,' which nobody got. However, everyone's guesses were so delightfully fun to read that I'm giving everyone who participated 15 CS!
Good job, everyone!
