Dawn, where did you find arterious and annelidious. I can't find them in the Oxford dictionary. what do they mean?

Dawn

Dawn Report 21 Aug 2007 18:03

arterious -- pertaining to artery annelidous-- pertaining to annelid, which is a segmented worm. i must admit i did cheat on this one i got them from http://www.tobylitt.com/vowelanswer.html
