ARGH AM INCAPABLE OF DOING ANY WORK WHATSOEVER.

I need help to get enthused about words. What's your current favourite word and why do you like it?

I'm fangirling a bit on Quechua at the minute. I've liked 'urpi' ever since I heard it in 2001, which means 'dove' and is used as an endearment, 'urpillay' = 'my little dove'. Also there are sundry words for 'to frolic like a baby animal or a little child', 'to satisfy your senses with music, art, food or anything pleasurable' (sajyay), to grumble and to enter into a small hole like a mole or a miner. I've been intending to post about these for a while. Maybe I'll get round to it today.

My favourite Furrin Word is phluareo, Greek for 'I talk nonsense'.
