What does KNAWE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanyarchaic
A low, sprawling weed with tiny green flowers, known in some sources as knawel.
Knawe spreads flat along dry, sandy or gravelly ground and is easy to miss because its flowers never open into anything showy. Older herbals and county word-lists spell the plant knawe as often as knawel, and both names point to the same small member of the pink family. Farmers once treated knawe as a nuisance of poor, thin soil rather than as a plant worth naming carefully, which is part of why the English name never settled into one fixed spelling. The plant still grows on waste ground and old walls today, though few people now use either name for it.
