In 2013, I purchased for $2 at a garage sale, a 2500 page Unabridged Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary with a 1968 copyright. Randomly exploring on this rainy day that interrupted my usual busy Saturday morning, I learned that mosaic, Moslem and mosque are on the same page, as is, ironically, moses, though in this case, it's defined as a boat having a flat bottom, used for carrying sugar to vessels. So is mot, n. (Fr.) 1. Literally, a word; hence a motto. [Obs] 2. a witticism; a pithy remark; a bon mot.
(Which, ironically, this is supposed to be.)
And moth ball, where, in the plural, I have metaphorically stored my dictionary.
I discovered, I miss a paper dictionary
a place where co existence of unlikely items is possible.
