Todays words..

Todays Artscroll words are:
1. potsherd - this is a translation of the word "CHERES" in todays context meaning a worthless document. Page 32b1 note 6.
Encarta says-a fragment of pottery, especially one found at an archaeological site
2. forestall - yeah, I know it only means to stall
Encarta says-to prevent or hinder somebody from doing something, or something from happening, by acting in advance.
Page 33b1, note 1.
Have thesaurus, will travel!

that funny. i only knew of the archaeological meaning of potsherd, not the modern one.

I'd like to know if the final editors know the meanings of all the words.
