This is sure to raise some red flags, because today’s ConWorkShop theme is Things that are or can be red. Unfortunately for me, I can not use the old riddle “What is black and white and red all over?” as it depends on homophones in Human that fail entirely to have even the slightest counterpart in Rireinutire. And besides, I already have a word for ‘newspaper’. But then, a couple of days ago I came across the word ‘pillow lava’, and today it led me to discover a few more varieties of (formerly red-hot) lava.
