Sentence: Emma, Dr. Doolittle's faithful assistant received the gift of glossomammalia one night at an ASPCA rally. She was an especially talented duck whisperer and soon was given her own show on Animal Planet where she would drive to the homes of people who had pets with issues and grievances against their owners. Eventually she went into animalaw, and succesfully argued in front of the Supreme Court to change the law to allow pets to sue their owners for cruelty.

Etymology: Glossolalia: "The gift of tongues" an estatic speech uttered in the worship services of several sects stressing emotion and religious ferver + mammalia: mammal, the highest class of vertebra.

Pronunciation: virt ta prayt

Sentence: Helen could communicate with all animals. Her ability to verteprate came at an early age and served her well to interrogate the pets of crime victims, perepetrators and witnesses, as a special service to the police. It was amazing what we do and say in front of our pets because we think they won't talk. But Helen could get pets to verify alibis, deny stories and defeat many a criminal in his illegal ways. Pets told no lies nor harboured any ulterior motives for their statements. Helen only wished her gift worked on her 13 year old son, but alas that is not the way life goes!

Etymology: Vertebrate (animal having a having a bony or cartilaginous skeleton with a segmented spinal column and a large brain enclosed in a skull or cranium) & Prate ( idle or foolish and irrelevant talk; speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantly)
