I was reading something on LJ that made me want to post a reaction, with a word and an image. But when I lookd up the word on google there were only hree words and no images. This surprised me because I had thought it a bit more common than that. So I went asearching those dictionaries whose listings do not show up on google (or Dogpile, for that matter).

I found THIS:

It's nifty!!! I plugged in "solar system model." It came back with more than 100 posible words I might hav been seeking, including word #1) orrery. And that was exactly the word! I was spelling it Ororary, which is a usage at least existing in the 1800's.

And it was this, mentioned by [profile] hobbit_em, that sent me looking for the word and images...
