The first post in the thread:
Another classic

The game only works with words of at least four letters. So. . .

The word is still "gibibyte."

If you read the first post in this thread, you'll see that the basic rule of the game is to post a new word that begins with any two consecutive letters -- other than the first or last -- from the previous word. The word "dolphin", e.g., begins with two letters that occur in the middle of the word "tandoori."

(well, thanks, but I'm fairly certain that wasn't a word, in middle Engl. or otherwise -- just not many real words that begin with "ym"

@meindian, in re: your earlier question: nothing to do with LOTR; Middle English is the ancestor of modern English; modern English emerged around 1400 or so; Geoffrey Chaucer's writings are an exmple)
