What does LAMPAS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A heavy patterned silk fabric used for hangings and upholstery, or a swelling of the roof of a horse's mouth.
In textiles, lampas is a rich cloth in which the pattern is woven in a different weave from the ground, and it was long used for curtains and covers on fine furniture. The same word names a veterinary complaint in which the soft tissue behind the front teeth of a horse becomes swollen and sore, making it hard for the animal to eat. The two meanings are unrelated in practice, and only the context shows which one is meant.
