Ali, I don't know if you noticed: Peregrinus was being silly by trying to include as many of the unusual words as possible from βαθμιαίος's list of unusual Ra vocabulary.
dictionary.com rocks!
chary: cautious, choosy, withholding, timid
chirurgeon: surgeon
demesne: estate, land, or region
honestation: adornment
sigil: sign (going outside of dictionary.com, I happen to know this is a magical symbol intended to represent all the words and concepts the magician wants to combine and access with a symbol)
leitmotif: theme that represents a person, situation, or idea that is repeatedly encountered or influential (I happen to know this from listening to Wagner's music)
tesseract: fourth dimensional version of a cube
yede: to go
algid: cold
athanor: a self-contained furnace that can maintain a constant heat
wellaway: with sorrow
accede: reach an agreement
prithee: polite request
reed: advice or plan
fortnight: two weeks
Therefore:
Peregrinus is so square that even if you see him in 4-D, he's still a cube from any point of view.
No matter how you sing about him he's no hepcat, it's squaresville all the way from the band whenever he shows up.
So this doctor dude has fancy hepcat symbols on the door to his country house. It made P wonder if he'd be out of place. Sho 'nuf, he gets there and he's like, man it's freezing in here can you get that heater going already? Doc says, sorry man, no go, but then he realizes he's gonna turn the square into an ice cube pretty soon so then he's like, my bad, here you go. Then they groove out to the hip philosophy in the cinema, you dig? Doc checks P out and says, hey dude, if it's not too much trouble I gotta see ya again in a couple of weeks. And being the straight-up guy he is, P says, the karma of that decision is yours but I will serve to honor your request by providing this corporeal entity for further investigations and Doc says, far out, does that mean you wrote it down in your calendar?
