C-Y-O: Obscure word of the week.

[zorbels]

Ok I am going to give this a try. I hope it fits in the sentence as it is supposed to. 

The forest was filled with different shades of blue, grey, and purples and seemed alive as the brumous flowed swirling softly around the trees.

I think you got it wrong, you used it as a noun, which is actually brume.

Brumous mornings are a sign of sweltering afternoons.

we trundled mous down the urbs past the sorbus and rubus.

What the heck are mous supposed to be? Microsoft certifications? Scottish mouths? All the other words I could find a meaning to even if they were Latinate designations. Well Mous could be short for Mustafa. That was the only place I found a definition for urbs as well.

Brumous clouds of air born morning dew clung to the Bromus secalinus that stirred it like hypnotised shafts all swaying to the charm of the breeze.   Nothing had prepared the townsfolk for the brume blanket that was to roll out from over the swirling mass of golden rye...  It brought their daily lives to a chilly stand-still.

A tad redundant Lolitra dear ^^

Awwww, crap! Oh well, I tried. Thanks for your correction Eliseth. Much appreciated. I'll try to think of something else. 

[Edit] Ok I got a sentence for the thread. With some help. Thanks neko for your help.

 "As dawn broke, I looked out my window over looking the Hydlaa Plaza and said to myself, "It looks like it's going to be a brumous morning.", and with that I went back to bed.

[Edit 2] Ok I have some more sentences that I have come up with on my own.

The brumous sky shifted and lowered baleful over the sere landscape.

The old crochety wizard glared out the crumbling tower window and muttered complaint to the brumous day.

[Eliseth]

Eliseth pulled her coat tightly around her as the cold air tried to penetrate her warmth. She walked through the streets of Hydlaa and smiled as she smelled the strong smell of freshly baked bread that pierced through the brumous morning air. "Sarine... breaker of the brume" she said, giggling to herself.

How so?   Brumous - only means foggy, or misty - ok, so I missed the word 'like'  perhaps - 'Brumous like clouds of  air-born morning dew...' would have been better? or maybe I should have used 'wisps' instead of clouds - 'Brumous like wisps of air-born... ' or even tufts...  - it would be nice if you explained your reasoning - sometimes peoples understanding can be a little brumous.  [I know what it can be like to have cotton wool between the ears... hehe]


Nature sweeps her brume in and over the lands to brush aside the noisy warm chatter, leaving icy brumous words hanging visibly in the air after swirling out of shocked villagers' mouths....

[The Wandering Djinn]

The brumous conditions around the Ruins that morning allowed Jerila to sneak past the ulbernauts and gather a posy of snowbuds and charmflowers for her sisters wedding celebration.

[Eliseth]

hehe, not to worry Lolitra, it looks like you got my reasoning anyway. Brumous clouds of morning dew is redundant because clouds of morning dew are brumous by default, no need to say it But your corrections are good ^^

Lovely.

"Everybody was smoking and the room became brumous"   Sorry

Waking up at dawn, Nurahk noticed that it was a brumous morning - very brumous - in fact, he could barely see his pet XilliX because of all the morning mist even though the scamp was playing just ten feet away from the tree upon which Nurahk lay.

<.<

It was so brumous in the room that Theirah walked right into a wall.

[Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins]

The witches gathered speed upon their brooms, plummeting into a thick swirling brumous air that hid the bromus, their brooms brushed the bromus and swept aside the brume, and their faces acquired a chill from the thrill of it all.

Consumption of ores laced with bromine can be quite unpleasant for Kran and those in their vicinity as it can cause them unfortunate Kran to emit brumous bromides of silicon, a most foul smelling event.

A mou is a Chinese unit of measurement. Urb I have used wrong. I believed it to be the term for different districts of ancient Rome but it in fact appears to have been any town on the Italian peninsula but Rome.
