Rorulent

[Grogie]

Abounding with dew. ''Early on a summer morning, all the lawns are rorulent.''

[Slava]

Nice word. I don't imagine the East Coast of the States will need it for a bit, though. The dew there is a bit heavy and frozen at the moment.

[skinem]

Our dew is all mobile at the moment...still in liquid form, though.

This word from Grogie may be a first for me...a word I knew!

Not me, nor the OED either.

Rorulent: a lovely word.
-abounding with dew.

[LukeJavan8]

I see this word is the Doctors word for the day
today 2-9-10.

Rorulent: a lovely word.
-abounding with dew.

Here's how the "Death Metal" band, Aborted, treated our lovely word (the name of the, er, song is "Underneath Rorulent Soil":

"Bereft of nitrates and fustulent nutrition
Lacking nutrients, a terrible cohibition
Anhydrous and stale and profoundly lacking
The abortive corpus you refuse to stop dragging

"Let thirst the soil!" as you cling to your life
Necrovores thrash for a meal they contrive
Unadjourned organs are worth more rent asunder
A value at last, at bolus six feet under

Die!

In extremis, a death rattle sounds off like a fife
As autolysis commences, there's birth to new life
Larvae dispatch and edaciously masticate
Unto the ground, your body, they repatriate

Underneath rorulent soil
An unquenched mealy maw is prepared to toil
Underneath rorulent soil
Bacteria await to feast on boils..."

There's more, but this should suffice. Some people can ruin anything!

[LukeJavan8]

Yeachhh!
Reads like an episode of "Bones" or "CSI".

Still like the word, along with petrichor, one of my
favorites.

It also reminds me of the chant (Gregorian) used in the
old Roman funeral rites: DIES IRAE,
(day of wrath).
