Hi Geo,
The words listed on CENTURY DjVu are from global languages. Your 'ison' is doubted a non-English word, and it's not contained in the major English dictionaries. However, it's listed in Wiktionary as a Finnish word. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ison Would you provide a more persuasive source for 'ison'? Thanks.

Hi Glot
I trust the following explanation will convince you to accept ‘ison’ as a legal word for the game. There are some foreign words that are spelt exactly the same as English words but have different definitions attached to them. One example is the word ‘comment’. In French, ‘comment’ (pronounce as komon) does not mean an explanatory remark, but is used partly in greeting a person. Then there are words used here in this game denoting units of currencies of foreign countries that are not found in some regular dictionaries. One example is the word ‘kina’ used by yourself at Line # 289. By the same token the word ‘kina’ is a hyphenated word in Finnish. Please see link from Wiktionary below. Another example is the word ‘pula’ (a Botswana currency unit) used again by yourself at Line # 428. This word is also not found in some regular dictionaries. This word is French as well as Filipino. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kina Having said these, I invite you to turn to page 64 of this thread where Tim wrote and I quote: Wiktionary, like UrbanDictionary, is basically a user contributed dictionary, and the definition there is not about English for this specific term. Posted on: 5/11 10:15:15 Moreover, The Century Global Dictionary spells out clearly any word that is NOT English, and the word ‘ison’, meaning a key-note term in music, has no notation of being foreign other than English. I am not sure if the word ‘ison’ is found in The OED. Perhaps we solicit Tim’s comments. Sorry Guys, for holding up the game. Cheers

No hard feelings please and if you have been offended, I sincerely apologize. I'll continue from here. Cheers. 526. glotynn - shat, sist, than, matt 527. geoette - shaw, sift, thaw, mutt 528.

Not at all, Bro Geo. How can I be offended in a game? Your stated examples "kina" and "pula" are referred to in answers.com as English words used to call the said foreign currency units. They are nothing wrong to this game. The only point I was persuaded by was "The The Century Global Dictionary spells out clearly any word that is NOT English, and the word ‘ison’... has no notation of being foreign other than English.".
Let's go ahead: 526. glotynn - shat, sist, than, matt 527. geoette - shaw, sift, thaw, mutt 528. Menquart - shab, soft, chaw, butt 529. futari - shad, loft, chap, putt 530. glotynn - shag, laft, chop, pott 531. futari - shog, laff, chip, mott 532. geoette - shoo, daff, chit, mort 533. futari - shod, diff, chin, sort 534. geoette - shoe, doff, chia, sora 535. futari - shie, doof, chic, lora 536. glotynn - shim, poof, cric, loma 537. geoette - skim, pouf, croc, coma 538.

Thanks Glot. Indeed both 'kina' and 'pula' are words acceptable to this game, otherwise the alarm bell would have gone for an inquiry. I was wanting to bring home the point that different dictionaries have different features and attributes; and as Tim has put it that no single dictionary contains all the words in any given language.
I am glad that you have not been disturbed. Here's my entry. Cheers. 526. glotynn - shat, sist, than, matt 527. geoette - shaw, sift, thaw, mutt 528.
