Post 25: Lexicographer for "The Revelations"

Though it's not my assigned job, I like to keep track of these anyway. Can't hurt to learn new vocabulary. The format is the same as last time: word (page number) * (asterisk indicating if the word appears more than once).

precipice (90): a very steep or overhanging place or a hazardous situation
litany (90): a prayer with a series of invocations and supplications by the leader
foray (92):a sudden or irregular invasion or attack for war or spoils
travail (93): work especially of a painful or laborious nature
teresly (94): smoothly elegant
rectified (103): to set right
succor (120): something that furnishes relief
putative (125): something that furnishes relief
manioc (137): any of several American plants of the spurge family grown in the tropics
