What does SABICU mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tropical American tree of the pea family, or the very hard dark wood it yields.
Sabicu grows in the Caribbean, especially Cuba and the Bahamas, and its heavy reddish-brown timber somewhat resembles mahogany. The wood is dense and durable, so it was long used for ship timbers, furniture and decorative panelling. In trade it is sometimes sold under the name horsehead mahogany, which can be confusing because the tree is not a true mahogany.
