lambda baryonned adj. The drunkenness of one who has assembled three incompatible breakfast ingredients and insists they form a particle. Radu was lambda baryonned, combining cereal, pickle and yesterday's curry without hesitation. lambda calculused adj. Reduced by drink to evaluating every morning decision by rules that produce further decisions. Lurae was lambda calculused, deriving coffee from toast and another coffee from that. lambda expressioned adj. Sharpened by drink into binding every breakfast remark to a parameter nobody else can see. Ayrah was lambda expressioned, assigning each item of toast a role in the morning argument. lambda functioned adj. Loosened by drink into performing useful tasks anonymously, without accepting responsibility for them afterwards. Henning was lambda functioned, making coffee for everyone and denying ownership of the pot. lambda hyperonned adj. Emboldened by drink to defend a breakfast theory with the solemnity of a newly discovered particle. Malva was lambda hyperonned and argued that cold toast possessed a measurable purpose. lambda leaked adj. Slowed by drink to the point where the morning escapes only in small, chilly increments. Raydene was lambda leaked, emerging from bed in separate movements with long pauses between them. lambda particled adj. Drunk and reduced to a neutral, barely mobile constituent of the breakfast table. Damayah sat lambda particled beside the cereal, contributing neither charge nor conversation. lambda pointed adj. Drunk to the point where warmth changes into a fragile, overconfident serenity before breakfast. Lovene was lambda pointed, gazing at the cooling tea as though it marked a phase transition. lambda probed adj. Sufficiently drunk to measure the oxygen in every breath, and find the readings inconclusive. Kenni became lambda probed and paused between stairs to assess the atmosphere. lambda termed adj. Drunk enough to treat every coherent morning thought as a well-formed formula. Davidas was lambda termed, testing each apology for grammatical validity over toast. lambdacismed (/ˈlæmbdəˌsɪzəmd/) adj. Drunk in a way that replaces difficult r-sounds with l-sounds until the hangover becomes linguistically gentle. Faiq was lambdacismed, requesting a ‘loll’ and calling yesterday's walk unusually ‘long’. lambdacismused adj. Drunk, with the result that every r in the account of last night emerges as an l. Annibale was lambdacismused, reporting that the ‘lound’ home had been surprisingly quiet. lambdacyhalothinned adj. Drunk to a degree that the morning presents several equally plausible versions of what was consumed. Belle-rose was lambdacyhalothinned, unable to separate the drinks into their individual histories. lambdaed (/ˈlæm.dəd/) adj. A drinker so far gone that the morning is counted from the wrong alphabet. Marchia woke lambdaed and numbered the hours before breakfast with letters. lambdoid sutured adj. Drunk on the strength of a headache that has fused the night behind the eyes. Louisa was lambdoid sutured, carrying the previous evening as one dense piece into breakfast. lambdoided adj. Drunk to the extent of waking with the back of the skull and the morning both tightly joined. Nolton was lambdoided, rising slowly as though the pillow had set around his head.
