I'd not heard that word before in my life, as far as I recall.

I looked around a little and apparently the nature of being swasivious or agreeably persuasive has a lot to do with "tone".

hmmnn, interesting word.

Finiculee finicula, finiculee finiculaaaaaa
echoes sound afar finiculee finiculaaaaaa

first thing I thought of

No idea what that word is, scrabble, and I don't want to look it up.

finifugal

fini would probably mean the end of something? No idea what though. I learned greek and latin roots in school. Can't remember any of them

finifugal - is an adjective meaning 'shunning the end (of anything).' Appropriate for children avoiding bedtime and for those who "just don't want the book to end."

(I thought the 'fini' must mean 'finished' also. The 'fugal' I first read as 'frugal' ... )


Next word:

aspectabund [uh-spek-tuh-bund]
