Okay, family stuff cleared away -- back to regular posting, starting with another grabbag week of words learned from Words With Friends solo mode, or WTFWWF 8:
kittle (KIT-l) - v., to tickle; to perplex. adj., ticklish; (Scot.) not easily managed, touchy, unpredictable.
Also, as a verb, to bear kittens, but I think the def is complicated enough as it is. In this form (to order spelling) this goes back to at least Middle English kitillen, but there's an Old English root and German and Icelandic cognates kitzeln and kitla, both meaning to tickle.
