Because unwept is NOT in the MWOD - it's in the MWUD.
There is at least one word that can follow COARSENED.
ancestored, deaconries, hacenderos, + horsedance would all follow coarsened, and are found in the MWUD but not the MWOD.
I'm not sure what the follow-on word is in the MWOD, Mac?
Didn't you tell me some time ago that you didn't have access to MWUD online, Bib?
You would know if you'd bothered to look up those four words at
www.m-w.com that none of them are accepted there. Or perhaps you did look them up and you're just trying to annoy me?
The word that can follow COARSENED is a hyphenated word.
These word are not in M-W
horse-dance
hacenderos
deaconries
ancestored
The above did not come up in m-w
but this one is
my final answer is:
second-rate
second-rater
(I was stuck trying to figure out why
www.m-w.com accepts "ropedancer", but not "ropedances". What does a ropedancer dance if not ropedances, I'd like to know?)
