abranchiate (adj)And what in the world can you do with this word? Well, you could write a sentence using it. You could look it up in another dictionary or reference book. (several dictionary searches available in my sidebar for your use.) Use it as a jump start for a short story. If applicable, find a picture of it. Whatever you do, post a link in my comments so I can check it out and put a link back to your post. And have fun.
[GR] without gills. -n. an animal without gills.

Word of the Week - ABRANCHIATE
Disclaimer: All words that I choose come from the 1968 edition of the Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd college edition. It's close and also nearly 40 years old so we may come across some words that are no longer in general use or have completely changed definitions. But that is part of the fun.

Are you already on Monday 23!!!! Where in the world are you???
Here in Egypt we have Saturday 21.Oct. 9:40pm
No, I just have it dated for then so it stays at the top.
Write a sentence with it???!!!
You must be joking. That word is a sentence in itself!
Well, according to your definition, I, my children, my husband, and, I'm pretty sure, my dog are all abranchiates. But I wouldn't swear on it.
I love your words! I have to remember to come find them each week!
