I don't know if this is considered a bug, but webster says

Word: cat's-paw
cat's-paw \'kat-.spo.\ n [fr. the fable of the monkey that used a cat's paw
   to draw chestnuts from the f] 1: a light air that ruffles the surface of
   the water in irregular patches during a calmire 2: one used by another as a
   tool : DUPE 3: a hitch in the bight of a rope so made as to form two eyes
   into which a tackle may be hooked

Word: calmire
No definition for 'calmire'.

I'll have to go get one of those archaic printed versions...

Thanks!
