Since I started to write about plunder, I have thought of nothing with as much intensity as this, and I guess in much of my waking hours, the word hovers around like the wretched smell of my cat's dung lying hidden somewhere. No, it refuses to leave that this noon, I finally took a pen and started to write derivatives of the word, much as they do in the German language which combines nouns, and, pronto, a new concept emerges. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of these coined terms can be used as we cover these plunder stories. I managed to draw up 17 derivatives and, since this is a free country, you can add your own and together probably we can come up with a dictionary. So here they are.
