I haven't read it yet, but judging from reviews and the tidbits sionnach has graced us with, many entries look almost medical -- the authors seem to draw more on Latin and Greek than stalwart Anglo Saxon.

bilby commented on the word sionnach
What is a sionnach, anyhow?
I've half a mind to ask.
Could it be a David's sow
Slugging whiskey from a flask?
Might it be a clockvine,
Mundle, lant or goiter?
Some hyperglurge with a powersurge
To defenestrate schadenfreude?
What is a sionnach, anyway?
And is it fraught of beans?
Is it as fine as an aberdevine
Or a bandicoot in jeans?
Has it been sent from Cork to harm us?
With poxes, pustules, colics?
Or is it indeed the cat's pyjamas,
Bees knees or even dog's bollocks?
I know it likes to change one letter
To whimsy up some titles:
Go spoof a book – oh heck, it's dreck! -
And dunt it in the vitals.
Then you see it stalking sheep
Like the flock in mysterious circles;
Hence your sleep be rarely deep
If perchance your pedigree's Zwartbles.
What is a sionnach, oh Wordie clan?
And is it a tad wombastic?
Does it fume at Simpleton Man
Like a statue wrapped in plastic?
Could we say it's a ballicatter
Or perhaps a whistersnefet?
Can we define this anti-matter?
Or should we howl and f___it?
But whatever you say
Whatever you do
Whatever conception has gotcha
From Australay
To Fernando Poo
Sionnach's me oul segocia.
