You said that "the wording is very clear - with no mention of hemisphere". But there is such a mention: the range of the spell is described as a 10' R hemisphere.If I told you that I have created a hollow 10' R hemisphere, and invited you to step into it with me, would you expect my structure to have a floor or not? I imagine that such expectations are going to vary across individuals, but someone who did expect a floor wouldn't be crazy, nor in need of looking up the word "hemisphere" in a dictionary.Equally, if I read a review of a new building (eg a hut) that described it as a dome, I wouldn't therefore assume that it had no floor. My primary thought would be that the building is circular at its base and curves from the ground up to its highest point in (more or less) the shape of a sphere. And the spell, after all, is called Leomund's Tiny Hut, not Leomound's Dome or Leomund's Roof. And a hut is suggestive of a building, which certainly doesn't rule out a floor.Hence the point made by some posters upthread, that the use of "hemisphere" at one point in the text, and "dome" at another point, even if the words push in different directions - which is not itself clear - leaves the question of a floor somewhat unresolved. And hence my view that this question of adjudication is not primarily about semantics. It's about function, gameplay, ingame logic (eg why would Leomund design a spell one way rather than the other), etc. Naturally this will differ from table to table.</blockquote>
