It,s wonderful that the English language has such a fancy word(hypocorism) for a term of endearment.

Wonderful to learn this word! Thanks for bringing it to us Flaminius.

Another wonderful word that isn,t used nearly often enough.

Thanks for the wonderful picture Katy. I didn,t know what the tree looked like.

Thanks Stargazer. Wonderful information!

I discovered this interesting name for a tree a few days ago. It names a tree of the species Araucaria that grows in the southern part of South America and some islands in the Pacific. A related tree is the Norfolk Island Pine.

Thanks for this word Henri. This is another word that doesn,t get used often enough, especially the first sense.

I wasn,t familiar with this adjective-noun. Very interesting.

What a wonderful word!

Thanks Brazilian Dude. This is a wonderful site for word-lovers too.

It,s a wonderful word. It,s too bad it,s used so rarely.
