Never knew that word, thx.
Recently learned this word too:
“fey” (adj.)
Apparently also recently inadvertently revived this word, last used in the early 1600s (if the folks at the online Oxford English Dictionary or OED are to be believed):
“sanate” (v.)

Been to St. Kitts!
Had a buddy in the Coast Guard there.
Jason Maloney.
He actually was the swabbie who came out to meet our USN ship when we put in for a port visit.
As he motored up, This Guy, in Deck Division at the time, calmly said:. “Hey Jason.”
Shipmates were amazed. “You know him?!?!”
Had some good liberty with my buddy Jason to show me around!
