#HurricaneElsa reminds us to make sure the horses are all in their #Stalls | @MSNnews @WeatherChannel
Actually no, the hurricane has nothing to say about horses ... Just that its name is "Elsa," and 'Elsa' is built on a lot of other words (see below) that are built on "Stalls."
MSN's post of The Weather Channel's report on Hurricane Elsa is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Stalls” (a 'grain of sand' beneath Stables, a 'grain of sand' beneath Established, a 'grain of sand' beneath Solemn, a 'grain of sand' beneath Oath, a 'grain of sand' beneath the name Elsa, a form of the name Elizabeth) is built on ancient words that mean "to Stand, Put (in Order)"
(the "Pretense or |Evasive Story to Avoid doing something"- and the "Distracting a mark so a |Pickpocket |Evades detection" comes from the |Hunting practice of Luring their prey with a |Decoy deer or -bird that they'd 'stand' out as bait for the hunted animal). #Stalled #Stalling #Staller #Forestall #Stallage #StoolPigeon
