go to BOKatTOOTdotCATIn "The Raid on the Termites" (Paul Ernst, 1932), an #entomologist daydreams about being shrunk to ant-size and exploring a #termite mound. His friend finds the notion of being “suddenly confronted by a thing as big as a horse, with fifteen-foot jaws of steely horn that could slice [him] in two” exciting. Jim imagines writing a book:
“What a book of travel it would make! ‘The Raid on the Termites. Exploring an Insect Hell. Death in an Ant-hill…’”
“Termitary! Termitary!” corrected Denny irritably.
Doing a long press on the word, what sayeth Wiktionary in #koReader?
_Termitary: an anthill built and occupied by termites._
