X Power

 It's X Day of the A to Z Challenge. Since X is kind of tricky, here are five new and maybe unusual words beginning with the letter X.
 
1. Xanthometer - instrument for measuring color of sea or lake water
 
2. Xenodochial - hospitable; kindly to strangers
 
3. Xiphias - swordfish
 
4. Xoanon - primitive wooden statue overlaid with ivory and gold
 
5. Xyloglyphy - wood carving
 
 
Sentences:
1. The Coast Guard used a xanthometer in the ocean.
 
2. Mother Teresa was always xenodochial.
 
3. We saw a lot of xiphias at the aquarium.
 
4. I wonder if there are any xoanon statues in India.
 
5. Chris was into xylography.
 
There you have it.
 
Happy Reading and Keep on Writing!
