Wombology Dictionary

A shared source of truth for Wombology: the applied science of valid wombos, their roots, sacrifices, rulings, variants, and institutional damage.

Wombo Law #1

A wombo is not a concatenation. It is a merger. Each root must surrender a syllable, a meaning, or a boundary to create something that neither word could be alone. No sacrifice, no wombo.

Adding an entry

1. Create dictionary/entries/<word>.md.
2. Include YAML frontmatter with word, author, roots, status, and entry when known.
3. Add a definition and a ## Sacrifice section.
4. Run:

python scripts/validate-entry.py dictionary/entries/<word>.md
python scripts/build-index.py

Governance

Entries can move through:

proposed -> codified -> challenged -> falsified -> overruled -> deprecated

The dictionary is allowed to be funny. The validation still has teeth.
