I came across implefy while looking for implementiferous, which I saw in the dictionary while checking the definition of implead...

OED: implementiferous
Quote:
[f. as IMPLEMENTAL a. + -(I)FEROUS.]

Containing (stone) implements used by early man.


OED: implefy
Quote:
[f. L. impl-re (see IMPLETE) + -FY.]

To fill (Cockeram, 1623).




Great words, I intend on using the former in an essay.
