Be careful as I am now "ilk",,interesting word, wonder where it came from. It has a vaguely unpleasant connotation. I guess if I weren't so tired I would go look it up.
Are you of "my ilk" or someone else's ilk? Is a it a good thing to have a group of people and declare "we are all of the same ilk"?
Scottish dielect. Same root as 'like'. As in kind. Means from the same place of of the same name.
Ancient vocabulary usages are not in the small arsenal of weaponry I use to fend off creatures of the nether world.
I will, however, keep a lookout for "ilk" while hoping it doesn't spread. ;)
