Thanks, Dan. I cited it at Double-Tongued this morning. I like that it includes a visual representation of the meaning.

It reminds me of "churn" and "chum," two other words that can look alike if the kerning is wrong.

Thank you, Grant! I loved the comment to the entry that suggested the term should have its own Web site: http://www.keming.corn

I also loved the one who invoked keming as the only tool needed to transform the front of a boat to the rear (stem to stern).

"Bwa!" indeed! And keming.corn is awesome! Ooo, and keming as a boat tool. OMG, that's great.

I love ghost words that fit a purpose. Or would “keming” be a ghost ghost word?

“Keming” makes me think of something Shaw or Lewis Carroll would devise/say. Very punny! Oops, sorry, Grant!
