### note

Usually written with a capital P, because it comes from a place name, but the dictionary lists it in lower case. Plural: Pomeranians. Short form: Pom (careful: in Australia and New Zealand «Pom» or «Pommy» is also slang for an English person, which can sound rude). It is a toy breed, not a puppy that stays small by itself — it is small when fully grown.
