I then put her up for a challenge

me:matter of fact.....how bout we make a deal

kaliya:noun.....

kaliya was a very intelligent  little girl....but I didn't want to give her any of my money

me:so w-(gco)

kaliya:and daddy before you ask Hippo- is ‘horse’ in Greek and potam-os is river. so father the first part of the word refers to a water horse also otherwise known as Hippopotamus. The Oxford Dictionary uses the word: Hippopotamine to refer to “something very large”. The word “monstr” is the Greek origin of a ‘monstrous being’ or something that is huge or terrifying and sesquippedalio is derived from Greek sesquippedali meaning ‘measuring a foot and a half long’. Phobos stands for morbid fear.
