What does EMEU mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicrarezoology
An old spelling of emu, the large flightless Australian bird.
Emeu turns up in nineteenth-century travel journals and natural-history books, from a period when European visitors to Australia had not yet settled on one way to write the name of the country's best-known flightless species. Writers before spelling reforms often kept whichever version a local guide first taught them, so emeu and emu circulated side by side in print for decades. Modern field guides and ornithology texts now use only emu, leaving emeu as a curiosity for readers of older accounts.
