Dear LJ brain trust...

Two questions, one fairly trivial and one meta.

1. Sight : visual :: Sound : aural :: Touch : tactile :: Smell : ?? :: Taste : ???

2. Where should I have looked this up? (A dictionary helps if you have an unknown word; a thesaurus helps if you have an approximate synonym. Googling on the three adjectives I have didn't get me the other two.)

Smell::olfactory

And I should have known that, now that you mention it. Thanks.

And taste, gustatory.

I've no idea how you'd find out; I have done what you tried, googled the members of the set I had - and when that failed, I'd have asked desperance.

Thanks.

Wow, 12 minutes! :-)

What other questions can desperance answer?

[shewhomust.livejournal.com]

Many things about cookery. And the behaviour of his cat.

Putting the first three adjectives into Google Sets (http://labs.google.com/sets) yields "olfactory." Adding that word yields "gustatory."

Thanks! I had not previously heard of Google Sets.

I found both under "senses" on wikipedia.

Good idea. Thanks.
