13 March, 2011
Manx cats lack a tail. Ditto these other mammals sheltering in the common English words listed below. If S(3)LEN, say, leads to SWOLLEN, gaining a tail-less WOLF, just as FORG(4)N requires a Manx OTTER to render FORGOTTEN, can you add the vital details to these other fourteen? The list is skewed to move from friendly to downright feral. Mind you don’t mauled.
