What does EBBET mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectNorth American
A common name for a small green newt, especially one found in the eastern United States.
Ebbet is an old dialect name for the newt, related to the standard word eft, which describes the land-dwelling juvenile stage of certain newts before they return to water as adults. The word survives mainly in regional and older nature writing rather than in modern biology, where newt and eft are far more widely used. An ebbet is typically bright green or reddish and found near ponds, streams, and damp woodland.
