For the record, two more offerings on C. Kunin's puzzle. Further
similar responses will be withheld. ~SB
Hi --
Well, when you remove the first letter of each word, what remains is a palindrome. But I'm stumped on what's especially "Nabokovian" about that. Invitation to a beheading? lol

I don't see what is Nabokovian about those six words other than that they
involve an odd bit of wordplay: Drop the first letter of each word and you
have a palindrome.
