Card 1: Pel
VOCABULARY NOTES
Pel:
RBF has always been interested in the thought that 'pellet'
must come from 'impelled.'
A word RBF uses for 'spontaneity.' For instance, if asked
to rehearse before a TV show in order to preserve for the
audience the 'pristinity of spontaneous disclosures.'
He says 'impel' and 'repel' are both pushive and he needs
something saying the opposite, something tensive is needed to
work with precession. He suggests 'suspel', 'expel,' or
'apel.'
EJA says 'pel' is pushive whatever you do with it.
He wants something like centripetal.

EJA suggested 'gyrotensive'
