Hi Joshua, thank you very much for your terrific comment. I’m delighted to know that this page helped to spark inspiration for you.

I have an ongoing list of additional words that I am gathering up for a (likely fairly distant) second edition of this post. If there are any entries you would like to see included, please do not hesitate to let me.

Wishing you all the best with your MFA, my fellow poet.

🖤 Autumn

Sweet Kate, thank you deeply for your stellar comment. I am tickled pink to know that this post struck a chord with you and that you’ve discovered some new-to-you words in it that you adore.

Isn’t elflock an enchantingly pretty word? I wish that I had naturally curly hair so that I could refer to it as such. How lucky your son is to be blessed with beautiful ringlets of his own.

I sincerely appreciate your acknowledgement of the time that went into this post. It was, unquestionably, a labour of love (spanning at least seventy hours over the course of several days). Happily, I enjoyed every minute of it though – very much including creating the 100+ images housed in this post.

I’ve already begun putting together a list of other unique, rare, and beautiful words from around the world, so a second edition of this post may appear here at some point.

I know that you have a huge passion for words as well and am all ears if there’s any you’d like to suggest for “part 2”.

Big hugs & many more thanks for everything!
♥ Autumn

I can understand how you spent hours upon hours for this post. What a labour of love!

You’re wonderfully sweet, Tammy. Thank you very much! 😘

I’m tickled pink to know that you enjoyed this post. It is one of my personal favourites (and amongst the most happiness-inducing) I’ve ever penned for any of the sites and blogs I’ve run throughout my life.

What a touching compliment, Donna. Thank you wholeheartedly for sharing not just your time, but some of that on your days off, with me.

That means a great deal and is not something I take lightly or for granted in the slightest. 💗

Dearest Debi, you are truly welcome. Thank you very much for letting me know that you not only enjoyed this fun word-filled post, but that you are a fellow logophile as well.

There are few posts, on any of the websites and blogs I’ve run over the past 17 years, that I enjoyed researching, writing, and creating the images for more than this one. I was in a genuinely blissful state the whole time and can definitely foresee a 2nd part (and maybe further entries beyond that, too) appearing at some point down the line.

Many hugs & the sunniest, sweetest April wishes!

Sweet Sheila, I adore (underline that many times over) the fact that several years on from first meeting one another online, I continue to learn fascinating, awesome information about you. Case in point, that you have a degree in linguists. That is immensely interesting and something I would be delighted to hear more about any time.

That is a brilliant and wholly inspiring idea regarding creating a tarot or oracle card deck out of this post. Thank you very much for suggesting it. You’ve got me wondering now if there might any publishers out there who would be interested in the concept as well? If one just made a personal (one-off) version for themselves though, it would be no less wonderful and useful – and you’ve got me thinking now that this is something I may do at some point. Really, thank you again. You’re awesome!

Sweet soul, what a tremendously kind, meaningful, and supportive comment. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate all that you said – including the sharing of aporia.

That is a gorgeous word as well and one that I will add to my already growing list of possible entries for a 2nd post of this nature.

Really, and with a deeply grateful heart, thank you again. It is a joy and honour to know and engage with you online as well. 💗

Thank you mightily, my dear friend and fellow logophile. I’m delighted to know that this post struck a chord with you as well.

Looking back across the various websites and blogs I’ve had the pleasure of running over the years, this post stands out amongst my favourite posts I’ve ever penned and I have already begun gathering entries for a second edition at some point in the future. Please do not hesitate to suggest words (from any language) that you think would be a good fit. I’m all ears! 😃

♥ Autumn
