"offering" lookup

     Fix the situation <Someone> reported where requesting information about
the not too unlikely word "offering" would match the "ring" quote.  I didn't
add a new quote for it but made "offer[ing]" and "sacrific[e|ing]" match the
existing altar quote.  I also added one small quote I've had laying around
for a while.
