Help[Opinions] Re: Celandine
in reply to a message by need more iron
I quite like Celandine, though it's certainly very different. Since I pronounce it "SEL-an-deen," the rhythm is similar to cellar door, which J.R.R. Tolkien himself called the most beautiful word in the English language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_and_Welsh).
Independently of learning of this assertion, I once decided that - regardless of definition - the prettiest English word was... cellophane. Which also has a similar rhythm.
Celandine is a nice midpoint between these words - and also has a much more attractive definition (a bird).
