    An embellishing note or tone preceding an essential melodic note or tone and usually written as a note of smaller size.

    It was a gift from pop... but what does it mean, what is he saying. And I know it was the winning word in this years spelling Bee.

    It's probably one of those philosophical things like all the players are the notes that make up the whole musical work, or something weird like that.

    In trying to loosen the mood before Game 1, Popovich talked about the National Spelling Bee. "I wanted to know if anybody knew the word that won - it was 'appoggiatura,"' he said. "Of course, none of us had heard of the thing."

    Some players had not heard of the contest, and Popovich had to explain it three times. "Manu was like, 'Spelling bees? Where are the bees?"' Popovich said.
