Plot

I frequently pronounce words in English on the Forvo site, where people can ask for native speakers of any language to say a word or short phrase for them. Frequently, a cluster of word requests will show up at once, and you can tell that one person submitted all of them. Lots of medical terms, for example, or words having to do with architecture.

This list of current words suggests to me that someone's writing a political novel, though what the Jungle Books have to do with it, I've no idea.


Deputy minister
vice prime minister
The Jungle Book
The Second Jungle Book
strict measures
High-ranking delegation
warning sirens
rescue teams
early warning systems
political detainees
Fact finding committee
hatch a plot
International community
political asylum
deposed president
