Meaning: to do with, or resembling, soot; dusky or dark.
Usefulness: 2
Logofascination: 1 (I like saying it aloud)
In the wild: One of the monks at Blackfriars in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere; his brother monks have equally sooty names.
Degrees: 3 (I'm trying to come up with interesting theories as to why Sir T does not mention soot anywhere, or smut, for that matter)
Connections: fuliginous - soot - coal
Which is used in: G&P, several times, but we turn here to the appropriately dark arts - a very specific form of divination found in the list of -mancys from the Third Book, XXV: How Panurge consulteth with Herr Trippa. "By cephalomancy, often practised amongst the High Germans in their boiling of an ass's head upon burning coals."
