Definition of EMBOUCHURE
the mouthpiece of a musical instrument
"Mark warned me that he would be able to teach me only the rudimentaries of flute playing, but the very first time I put my lip against the embouchure, I had the strangest feeling, as though I had done it before. And perhaps I had, in some other lifetime. How else did I learn so fast?"

I knew schlepp but mnemosyne was new to me. Thanks for playing along.
Schlepp I know because i grew up in a Jewish area of Montreal.
also, coming from Montreal, where you have to learn French I knew that embrouch referred to the mouth.
Mnemosyne is definitely new to me, would love to be able to say it in passing but need to learn to pronounce it first!!
I'm with Kathy. I knew schlepp from somewhere but the others are new.
Hi Tea! I also knew schlep but not the other two. Mnemosyne sounds cool - I didn't know there was a goddess of memory! :) thanks!
I knew schlepp also, but not the other one, thanks! for sharing.

I know and love schlepp, it's a great word. Just the sound of it is a particular joy. Yiddish has so many great words.
