3 equine blank Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2502 5 3 From further down the valley, Symphony charged in, followed by his equine minions.

4 driving competition Noun Singular UNKNOWN A2 2503 5 3 The powrie slammed her hard from behind, driving her into the bent beam. Pony had told him many times that Kristeena was sweet for him, and the older girl, not viewing a ten-year-old as competition, had been charmed by the thought.
5 propel underground Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2504 5 3 Pony floated up as she went, grabbing the branches of trees and propelling herself along. When the showers arrived, he and his fellow Preparer would be hidden underground, sheltered from the pelting meteors.
6 sleeping sweetness Noun UNKNOWN A2 2505 5 3 Both elves nodded and slipped quietly out of the tent, past the sleeping soldiers and the alert guards without a whisper, seeming to all about as no more than windblown leaves or the shadow of a bird. The sweetness was there, but somehow just out of Jill's reach.
7 boom grayish Verb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2506 5 3 "Ho, ho, what!" the centaur boomed in a fair imitation of Avelyn. Elbryan saw the bright red gash, the white of split bone, the grayish brain.
8 carbuncle anymore Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2507 5 3 What he found instead were two stones intact: a sunstone - which did not surprise Avelyn in the least - and a carbuncle. There were no lines of defense anymore, no organized pockets of resistance.
9 shortly buzz Adverb Verb UNKNOWN A2 2508 5 3 The sky brightened to a dull gray shortly before the dawn, another lazy snowstorm dropping scattered flakes that floated to and fro during their descent. The whole village had buzzed about the house because Olwan Wyndon was laying a stone foundation.

17 torment grayness Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2516 5 3 Quintall looked at his demon master; he knew the dactyl had shown him his mortal memories only to torment him.

24 hate exist Verb A2 2523 4 3 But many of the hardier plants had kept their summer hue, many flowers still bloomed, and this reedy bog, the one place in all the valley that Elbryan had truly come to hate, had not frozen. Did such a thing as the Halo even exist, or was her memory a mere fantasy?
25 encourage society Verb Noun B1 A2 2524 4 3 The bond had been particularly strong with Annalisa, a humble and spiritual woman, who had encouraged her youngest child to follow the path of God from his earliest recollections.

29 express background Adjective Noun B1 A2 2528 4 3 But to take humans to Andur'Blough Inninness without the express permission of Lady Dasslerond was indeed a stretch of the Lady's compassion, and Juraviel was not certain that the troop wouldn't simply be turned away; perhaps the paths into the misty valley would be altered and hidden even from Juraviel. He knew it was music, though it seemed too soft, too much in the background for him to actually hear it.
