Entry: verisimilitude (n.)
In context: "But God here is played by Otis P. Lord, and Lord is number-crunching so fiendishly at the cart's Yushityu, trying to confirm the versimilitude of the peace terms AMNAT and SOVWAR are hashing out..."
Definition: The fact or quality of being verisimilar; the appearance of being true or real; likeness or resemblance to truth, reality, or fact; probability.
Other: What a great string of words lately. I can say that, I think, without being too prideful - they certainly aren't my words.
If you're curious - and I just was - we've recently passed 1/3 of the novel!
