Today I have a few "obsolete" words, that appealed to me. While they are not in regular current usage, you may come across them in older texts. Could be an interesting addition to period pieces.

grame n.

grief; misery [obs.]

graith

n. gear; outfit;equipment [Scot.]

v.t. to prepare [obs.]

fnese v.

to snort; also, to sneeze [obs.]
