LOG made me wonder, I don’t think I ever recall seeing the word “elogy” before. I thought maybe it was a confusion between eulogy and elegy. But, the dictionary says it’s just another related word - albeit an obsolete/archaic one - very interesting.

to contribute to the discussion…  
XLN (excellent with a silent t)  
TL (teal) DL (deal) CL (seal) PL (peal)  
PN (peon) EN (eon) MUZM (a museum) 😉
