Recently in Sear I saw a figure described as holding an acerra. What is it? I have looked in two dictionaries and on Wikipedia but can't find the definition. HELP!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acerra_(incense_box) When using Wikipedia, be sure to watch for a link at the top offering other uses of the same word. They call this disambiguation. In this case the word first takes you to the city Acerra but those wanting information on the person, the moth or the box have to click on the link to the disambiguation page. As an illustration follow the link to the various meanings of fox. The prime one is the animal but it gets almost funny after that. The service is not perfect. For example, I do not appear on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Smith
Aahaha wow, you're correct => you certainly get a whole lotta avenues to explore when you search for fox (disambiguation) ...
