A detour into the etymology of 'tussock' vs. 'hassock' and then 'tuffet,' 'hillock,' 'hummock.' It was like discovering a missing evolutionary link between species of pillows and various lumps of grass. I love words.
I do not love: archaic conjugations
The Hierophant's dialogue, fantasy Middle English, and the appurtenances of faux-Catholicism is going kill me and probably some readers. I'm sorry?
