What does TOPHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalrare
A variant spelling of toph, a soft, porous rock formed from fine volcanic ash, closely related to tufa; also used loosely for a similar soft sandstone.
Tophe names the same soft, crumbly rock that geologists more often call toph or tufa, built up from fine ash and mineral particles that settle and harden over time. Because the rock is soft enough to cut yet firm enough to build with, it has been quarried in some regions for simple construction and carving. The spelling tophe survives mainly as an alternative form recorded in word lists and older glossaries rather than in everyday geological writing, where toph and tufa are now far more common. Anyone encountering tophe today is most likely to meet it as a rare dictionary entry rather than in a geology textbook.
