peri tes opos...

For the fiftieth post on this site, I am happy to announce that I have just, for the first time, encountered the Greek word 'ops' (Christos Paschon, line 1188), a word notable for being the last word to appear in an alphabetically ordered listing of the classical Greek vocabulary.

Before I get the inevitable nitpicking in the comments from those readers who are rushing off to their copy of Christos Paschon, let me pre-emptively state that the fact that I read it only in a compound verb does not complicate my excitement.

...Nor does the fact that this is was the big thrill of my Saturday night.

I'm trying really really hard not to hurl abuse at you for writing this.

Geek.

Sorry.
