What does AGGRY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
historical
Relating to ancient variegated glass beads traded in West Africa.
Aggry beads were colourful glass ornaments found buried in parts of West Africa, prized long before Europeans arrived and later traded heavily during the colonial period. Their manufacture is still debated by archaeologists, since some appear to be very old local work and others were imported and reworked, so the word aggry marks the beads themselves rather than a single known origin.
