Verified words? - 24-th edition

Verified Words are new words created by blogger to test our ability to decipher strange fonts (and foil the spammers). Occasionally, blogger provides a real word when I comment on your blogs. I am posting new editions in place of "Odd Shots" for a while. I am including some double word phrases that have appeared recently on blogger. They are harder to "spoof" than the single words and also give dictionary.com and wikipedia problems. Here are three more of my definitions along with the suggestions of dictionary.com and wikipedia. First edition was posted as Round 1. Today's words:

logrant
dictionary.com - NOT a word, suggested "grant".

wikipedia - NOT a word, suggested "logan".
Lew's definition: lo-grant - Not enough money for tuition.

picrane
dictionary.com - NOT a word, suggested "picrate".
wikipedia - NOT suggested "picrate".
Lew's definition: pi-crane - A flock of 3.14 birds.

papers namberl
dictionary.com - NOT a phrase, papers is real, for namberl, suggested "nimbler".
wikipedia - NOT a phrase papers is real, for namberl, suggested "names".
Lew's definition: pa-pers nam-berl - The writen works of Milton Berle
