I read from ejecta to elaborate. Early versions of the ejection seat were invented in the 1910s, presumably after someone was like "I would really like a way out of a crashing airplane, please and thank you." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_seat The word of the episode is "ekphrasis". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekphrasis Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

I read from eight to eisegesis.

I read from Egyptian to eigenvector. Egypt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Technically, yes, Mammoths were still around while the pyramids were being built, but it was a small population on an island. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/did-woolly-mammoths-still-roam-parts-of-earth-when-the-great-pyramids-were-built.html The fantastic podcast "Ologies" by Alie Ward has a great episode about Egyptian bread called "Gastroegyptology" https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gastroegyptology Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, oh my! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors The word of the episode is "eidetic". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

I read from Efik to egg and dart. There are almost 750,000 Efik people in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efik_people Not much is known about where "egad" came from other than "I God" which is a "softened oath". https://www.etymonline.com/word/egad#etymonline_v_1031 Now I want to walk around the city and just say "Look at the egg-and-dart!"
