VOCABULARY

H.P. Lovecraft had a wonderful and extensive vocabulary and made good use of it in his works. The criteria for if a particular term is included here is, simply, whether or not the editors were sure what it meant. Most definitions are adapted from entries on Wiktionary.

desiderate:

proxenoi:
("The Tree")

rugose: Having wrinkles, creases or ridges; having a rough, wrinkled surface (botany).
