Summary: Tag line: Sing this song when you?re looking for almost the right word. ----------------------------------------------- If you?re looking for a word that means almost or not quite Pen is the Latin root that?s out of sight Ultimate means final, no more will come to pass The word penultimate means ?next to last? (literally ?almost last?) A peninsula?s surrounded by water on three sides That makes it almost an island, but for where it with land elides (that?s a fancy word for ?joins?) If you?re looking at a stretch of mostly flat terrain With just a couple of hills and dales, that?s a peneplain (it?s not quite a plain) It doesn?t matter if the shade?s in Timbuktu or Colorado A penumbra is the almost-shady edge of a shadow (it?s the same everywhere!) If you?re looking for a word that means ?almost? or ?not quite? Pen is the Latin root that?s out of sight
