Selkie
Today’s OED Word of the Day:
selkie
[SEL-kee] a mythical sea creature that resembles a seal when it is in the water but is able to take on human form when on land. A Scottish term, it comes from selch, a word for a seal, and it can also be spelled silkie or selky.
The OED only sends out big and unusual words, so I was quite pleased to see a word I actually know!
