Kinetic

Wind energy can be changed into kinetic energy by the sails on a windmill.  The road downhill is occluded by landslide.  Science disarticulates beautiful creatures without hesitation.  He gave a knee-jerk response.  I felt a thump on my back. 

Dehiscence

That dehiscence of girls causes the downfall of many boys.   His facile disposition made him many friends.  Disk space on that server is at a premium.  Prevarication became the order of the day in his government while truth was a stranger in those halls.  Pigs wallow in the mud. 

Niggardly

Where the owner of the house is bountiful, it is not for the steward to be niggardly.  Each pancake comes with a dollop of suspiciously soft butter in a tiny plastic cup.  The composer's reference to child's play is apropos.  Religion is the most attractive, mediagenic topic today.  Psychedelic visual arts were a counterpart to psychedelic rock music. 

Solvency

They reviewed financial records to measure the borrower's solvency.  The Dalits are forced to struggle for sustenance in the penumbra of the mainstream society. What started as a great effort ended up petering out to nothing.  The kidnapper came to a sticky end when he crashed his car into a tree.  They are drunk and they keep breaking into laughter apropos of nothing. 

Encomium

The service received the encomiums of all concerned.  The police cordoned off the street while they investigated the accident.  He does not display any feeling of filial piety in his behaviour.  As a novelist and playwright, he is attuned to the indeterminacy of the inner world.  The lack of aseptic tools during surgery has resulted in many deaths. 

Whittle

The goal is to whittle the group down to about 50 people.  The Earth is the only telluric planet of the solar system that has a significantly large satellite.  The patient had unpleasant dreams and hallucinations, suggesting the drug had a psychotomimetic effect.  Whatever its ontogeny, imitation seems to be the basis of tradition in other species.  I was feeling uncomfortable in the funeral conclamation. 

Endemic

Malaria is endemic to the tropics.  We watched the airplane disgorging its passengers at the gate.  She has got a monomaniacal focus on a single issue.  Genteel America was handicapped by meagerness of soul, thinness of temper, and paucity of talent.  He has been a stalwart supporter of the campaign. 

Founder

The ship foundered in a heavy storm.  We find therianthropic forms in Egypt or Assyria-Babylonia.  No one can accuse Lara of being an epigone; her artistic style is entirely her own.  Nothing better shows the plasticity of her character than the ease with which she has adapted herself to the situation.  The dictator has failed to heed the hardships which catalyzed the revolt. 

Swashbuckle

He was the intrepid war photographer whose swashbuckling style and good looks gained him fame around the world before his untimely disappearance while on assignment.  As the truck set off on the haunted hayride route, the riders experienced some horripilation in anticipation of the scares ahead.  They are engaged in phatic chitchat.  In the case of introjection, he falls into a ludicrous self-deification or moral self-laceration.  There is no document more frequently misquoted than this Motu Proprio. 

Viscous

A blister burst near the woman's temple, sending a run of viscous fluid over the mottled landscape of her cheek.  Some monkeys have prehensile tails which they use to pick things up.  The myth suggests a theriomorphic earth-maker.  He has got a neotenous face.  It can be hard to travel in a foreign country if you don't speak the lingo. 

Jitter

That creepy movie gave me the jitters.  She responded with none of the reservation she normally displayed.  The arduous path up the mountain is marked with gaping crevasses and uprooted trees, tossed down the slope.  Atrial fibrillation is a common problem in which the natural rhythm of the heart is disturbed.  Understanding the phylogeny of this musical group helps us understand its music. 

Trailblazer

To the rest of the cricket world, Sachin Tendulkar is known as a trailblazer.  The state plans to ratchet down greenhouse gas emissions by 25% in the next ten years.  Wolverines are highly vagile, inhabiting varied ecoregions.  She has predicated her theory on recent findings by other astronomers.  In the afternoon we ran into a plexus of crevasses, and the surface was traversed by high ridges. 

Chivvy

He kept putting off writing the report so I had to chivvy him along.  It was an embarrassing gaffe by any standards.  The bats were quiescent at that time of the day, so we slowly entered the cave.  The colonies are surrounded by wispy swarms of bacteria, a highly motile organism.  Only Dasein makes the world a unitary world at all, rather than a collection of entities. 

Sinecure

Because he was the brother of the CEO, he was offered a sinecure in the company.  He resigned in the face of trenchant criticism of his policies.  Of course, causality runs both ways; countries in trouble are more likely to get into debt crisis.  They enjoyed the languor brought on by a hot summer afternoon.  But if the words are cited as the proof, it would be a clear petitio principii, though there had been nothing else against it. 

Get up in someone's face

After he called me that, I could not help myself from getting up in his face.  The American culture is a potpourri.  Classical music is rather anodyne.  The fire was still burning strongly; waves of heat rose up out of the half-finished pit, making the air undulate.  We have assumed that each stellar system in evolutions throws off electric corpuscles into space. 

Apportion

The controlling party had apportioned the voting districts such that their party would be favoured in the next election.  He showed a predilection for poetry.  As we have seen during this study, most interpreters of Paul's theology have concluded that his soteriology is of a mystical nature.  The conference dealt with the issue of prostitution and the reification and trafficking of women.  He identified a key element by defining trade unions as the bastions of civil liberties. 

Acerbate

Lady Laura had triumphed; but she had no desire to acerbate her husband by any unpalatable allusion to her victory.  Kaliyug is characterized by increasing anomie.  Jackie was on pins and needles waiting to hear about her job application.  In practice Germany under Hitler never became autarkic and depended on the import of oil.  He was as baffled as I about the FBI's declination of the State Department's invitation to intervene in the case. 

Frazzled

I'm frazzled by this scorching summer.  Being rich does not actually increase your happiness quotient.  It is a popular product and they have to replenish their stock of it frequently.  Multiplication is the inverse operation to division.  The museum is having a retrospective exhibit of the artist's early works. 

Forgo

She is planning to forgo her right to a trial and simply plead guilty.  She wrote for the now-defunct newspaper.  A drunk person was repeating the same old story ad nauseam.  As they reached the steps, a squad of militiamen escorted them to the big stone rostrum near the fire.  He is completely bamboozled by the changes in the computer system. 

Fornication

The drama is full of scenes of fornication and betrayal.  Anorexic teens literally starve themselves.  A novel based on these ideas could be called millenarian fiction.  That line is tinged with a whole lot of emotion for a throwaway line.  The only revenge the princess took upon her aunt was to tread pretty hard on her gouty toe. 

Tetraplegia

We can get travel insurance, but laughably, any claim that relates to tetraplegia is not covered.  Officials hope that these talks will lead to a rapprochement with the rebels.  They are not lager louts who are going to cause trouble.  There is no upside in our media culture to challenging this sacred cow.  He got really stroppy when I ignored him. 

En masse

The opponents of the new system had the option of refusing to acquiesce en masse.  This can go on ad infinitum, because he cannot pay off his debt.  He was so addled by drugs that his crimes could not have been premeditated.  A smaller doorway, hung with arras of black, is on the left, well toward the front.  I was an atheist, untrammeled by all the old superstitions. 

Catalectic

His poem is mostly filled with catalectic lines.  The restaurant offered gourmet coffee and cigars after the meal.  How can you come up with such brilliant ideas?  The captain's huge hand, swinging back, overset the bottle.  He had a reputation for being laconic. 

Upshot

I'm not interested in hearing all the details, just give me the upshot.  They were in a state of ebriety while riding the motorbike.  You can't help but admire the sheer chutzpah of the man.  Those arguments are not necessary, they are all supererogatory, like idle words.  He was given remission for good behaviour. 

Specious

This idea is specious, however good it may sound.  I fractured two vertebrae in my spine.  She dove into the water headfirst.  The 18-24 cohort shows a sharp increase in automobile fatalities.  He had a bit of a gimpy leg, a limp she could spot even from here.
