Re: meaning of "wax" in waxwing

thanks for the wax info Carolyn Kunin. I am not Mr. by the way, I point out
since you chose for it to matter. So, it's the (red) sealing wax
connection, and not the cloudy surface texture that waxes any color and
reflects light wax-ily or in waxish ways. Where did you find this info?
The dulled or pearlized or nacreous luminosity of the waxwing I imagined
must now alter, as well as the particular quality of thud of a waxed surface
into glass.
