Tait; A small nocturnal and arboreal Australian marsupial (Tarsipes rostratus) about the size of a mouse. It has a long muzzle, a long tongue, and very few teeth, and feeds upon honey and insects. Called also noolbenger. (chiefly Pomgolian)
fart
obnoxious gases emanating from the bowels of cattle that are causing global warming :P
trap
Do some religions think those gases are as sacred as the cow? (fair question I think)
rapt
holy cow! that's a contentious issue :P in defense of that practice, the premise of the concept is the cow as a provider, as nothing goes waste - even the dung is utilized in multiple ways, manure/ disinfectant/ fuel. etc
anyways... rapt is also "carried off spiritually to another place, sphere of existence, etc."
taro
A tropical vegetable grown for its large starchy roots.
Also known as taitstuffer in Pomgolian.
tart
I am not
tort
I think "tait" is invented by the poms and Septics to bring disrepute upon the noble langwage of the Austalo-Antipodeans.
wort
Tait is so obscure that it does not work in Bookworm nor is it listed in The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary Third Edition.
Noolbenger, on the other hand, is well accepted and does not "bring disrepute upon the noble langwage of the Austalo-Antipodeans."

Tait is listed in Webster's dictionary, where it is defined as:
"(Zool.) A small nocturnal and arboreal Australian marsupial (Tarsipes rostratus) about the size of a mouse. It has a long muzzle, a long tongue, and very few teeth, and feeds upon honey and insects. Called also noolbenger."
Honey possum isn't mentioned!
Tait is also listed in www.thefreedictionary.com.
I guess honey possum must be an obscure Pomgolian expression. :D
