boab
« on: July 04, 2010, 02:37:36 PM »
A while ago, dragonkindred used Chi-chat to ask, "Why can't I have boab? It is a type of tree."

The word boab is an Australian variant of baobab, and is used for species that are native to parts of this country, and are related to the African baobab species. (Check out Google Images for some spectacular photos.)

The word boab is listed in a few international dictionaries and is used quite a lot in Australia, so I think we should allow it in future.
