Being a linguist myself and speaker of four languages including my mother tongue, Spanish, English, French and German (less so now) I love the power of words. I not only love the ones you mentioned but I adored your first sentence 'I love the way that they can roll along your tongue like soliloquy and parallelogram'. I have read this post three times in a row now.
