apexificationed adj. Drunk by closing time, and settling firmly into the nearest chair as though rooted there. Marniqua became apexificationed beside the cloakroom and required considerable persuasion to leave. apexited adj. Drunk, with the result that the body becomes colourless, crystalline, and unexpectedly difficult to move. Dahlila went apexited on the landing, pale and mineral-like until someone guided her indoors. apexogenesised adj. Drunk to a degree that the tooth’s tip seems to be calcifying while the root searches for formation. Kamaiya became apexogenesised halfway upstairs, preserving the tooth-tip posture and abandoning the root. apextrinned adj. Drunk to the extent of becoming an extracellular larval protein, associated with evolution but poor at stairs. Tyheem went apextrinned on the landing, biologically promising and mechanically unable to descend. apfelstrudelled adj. The state of being drunk and layered, sweet, and difficult to transport home without damage. Quiana arrived apfelstrudelled, carrying her coat like a plate of pastry. aphaciaed adj. Softened by drink into misjudging every distance, particularly the distance between the bar and the exit. Gayathri was aphaciaed after the second round and missed the coat hook twice. aphaeresised adj. Having drunk enough to remove the opening syllables from words, leaving a lexically reduced but confident speaker. Burnley became aphaeresised and requested a ‘taxi’ by referring to it as a ‘xi’. aphagiaed adj. The condition of a drinker who can no longer swallow the last mouthful, though last orders have passed. Zulia was aphagiaed by the bar, holding the same unfinished drink through last orders. aphagied adj.

Rushawn was aphagied by midnight, despite having ordered chips for the walk home. aphagopraxiaed adj. The drunkenness of one who attempts to swallow the evening whole and finds the mechanics unreliable. Akira was aphagopraxiaed, repeatedly negotiating one chip as though it required paperwork. aphakiaed adj. Sharpened by drink into seeing every coat, chair, and taxi as an immediate destination. Timithy became aphakiaed after last orders and pursued a coat belonging to someone else. aphakicked adj. Loosened by drink into a person for whom near and far have ceased to be useful arrangements. Orly was aphakicked by closing time and attempted the short route through a hedge. aphalangiaed adj. Emboldened by drink to count the fingers of everyone holding a coat, rather than finding your own. Daizie was aphalangiaed and sorted the cloakroom tickets by fingers instead of numbers. aphalliaed adj. Slowed by drink to a stately, hesitant progress towards the taxi, with no apparent urgency remaining. Janahi was aphalliaed by closing time and took three minutes to cross the pavement. aphananthied adj. Drunk and making no conspicuous display of the fact, apart from occupying the cloakroom doorway. Khadeijah was aphananthied, quietly blocking the coats while insisting she was ready. aphanesited adj.

Timoth was aphanesited by closing time, treating every doorway as the same doorway.
