    Warning!!!

    It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

    You decide to look up the word grue, just to know exactly what is about to eat you.

      How gruesome! It depends which meaning of grue you wish. The three different Scottish meanings of the word are of unknown origin but the meaning to shiver with cold or horror came into English via the Jutes (grue is old Danish, to shudder). However, grue is also French for a crane (bird or machine), hence your Gruyère cheese (the Comtes de Gruyères have cranes on their coat of arms and the region was a nesting place for them until mechanised agriculture destroyed their habitat). As the crane is the only definition likely to eat anything, but isn't English ??????????????????????????????????

        You see before you a large snozzle, looking hungrily at a grue.

            Now are we talking about the garden variety grue? Or the ever-so-substantially-more-fearsome UR-Grue?
