  1. Yeah, 'd' words. They are mostly 'de-' and 'dis-' words. Prefixes at work. Clearly quite few of them are real 'd' words, linguistically speaking, only 5 of them, 'difficulty, dangerous, doddering, dotage, damnation'.

    1. I am not sure what point you are trying to make with this comment but you have perhaps missed the point of the poem which is the last word.
