Orfe
I was wrong, as we all knew. An orfe is not a dwarf elf. It's a kind of goldfish. Unfortunately, I can provide no further information than that. Those fishy types who also enjoy research, can find out more at their leisure. It was great to see some more new word imps in the mix today. Thanks for joining us and I hope you come back soon. One of those new word imps won on the poll too. Well done, Dawn Treader. Hope to see you again soon.
