I found this (as well)

It may help some of us to add more beauty to our glitteryness™ (had to trademark it, since Taha ^_^)

The beauty of words, I never really thought about at all before. I used to enjoy writing, I suppose I still do, I like making really 'flicky' F's :p ƒ nearly

I think I'll try and fit "Effervescent" into the affirmation thread somewhere.

2 interesting appearances on the list. Epiphany.Ethereal.

I don't know if it's personal to me, but seeing onomatopoeia had me chuckling for a while.

Some of the words I've never even seen before!!

I hope you find this as fascinating as I have done!!

Love and Light!

Lunch?

Thats pretty cool about the word Ethereal. My band has a song called Ethereal Disembodiment. You could say its about the process of becoming etherial when after you die. It almost doesn't make sense, but it works musically.

What is waft?

so far as we use it here in the UK,
waving your hands over a camp fire to give it extra air, wafting the fire

Just for interests sake, if you ever have a word you do not understand do a google search Define:Waft

Love and Light

Maybe LLResearch should suggest thier deffinition of Ra? ^^

I liked it.

Fugacious, mellifluous, Pyrrhic, Halcyon. Words that I have now learn't. A bit.

One of my favourites that are not listed is 'nefarious'.

as Ra says, sounds have power:

- -


74.19 Questioner: How did the users of these sounds, Sanskrit and Hebrew, determine what these sounds were?
Ra: I am Ra. In the case of the Hebrew that entity known as Yahweh aided this knowledge through impression upon the material of genetic coding which became language, as you call it.

In the case of Sanskrit the sound vibrations are pure due to the lack of previous, what you call, alphabet or letter-naming. Thus the sound vibration complexes seemed to fall into place as from the Logos. This was a more, shall we say, natural or unaided situation or process.


75.26 Questioner: You spoke in a previous session about certain Hebrew and Sanskrit sound vibratory complexes being powerful because they were mathematically related to that which was the creation. Could you expand on this understanding as to how these are linked?

Ra: I am Ra. As we previously stated the linkage is mathematical or that of the ratio you may consider musical. There are those whose mind complex activities would attempt to resolve this mathematical ratio but at present the coloration of the intoned vowel is part of the vibration which cannot be accurately measured. However, it is equivalent to types of rotation of your primary material particles.

75.28 Questioner: Would these sounds, then, be of a musical nature in that there would be a musical arrangement of many different sound vibrations, or would this apply to just one single note? Which would it apply more to?

Ra: I am Ra. This query is not easily answered. In some cases only the intoned vowel has effect. In other cases, most notably Sanskrit combinations, the selection of harmonic intervals is also of resonant nature.

I went through a phase in my mid-college years when I devoured languages. I never became proficient in any of them lol, but I did acquaint myself with many basic grammars and taught myself the more common scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hindi). Good times.

I also went through a phase when I studied etymology; that is, the roots and origins of the words we have in the English Language today. Makes one keenly aware of how polyglot our language really is: it has a germanic base with a heavy infusion of french, and 'steals' words from other languages with abandon.

I think I'll miss English when I return to my home density. I'm going to have to teach my soul group how to speak it lol.

the most beautiful word is missing from the list, strangely enough.

LOVE

and I also like the words "subtle" and "eternity".

Distortion/s

Yeah, the word women should be on the list.
