That's odd, JRRT was fond of "cellar door" too, but I could never see the
appeal, especially since he presumably used an r-less pronunciation and said
something like "daw" ([dO:] or [dO@] or the like). Ugh.
Speaking of JRRT, "Silmarillion" is a very nice word.
(I had a friend who always said "Silmarillon." Ugh.)
