Re: David P's "month" (was: Poll by Email No. 3)

The best word?  I don't know!  I know what sounds I
like, and so I would look for words that contained
those sounds.  These include /f/ /s/ /S/ /Z/ /l/ /r/
/w/ /T/ /m/ /n/, and maybe others I can't immediately
think of.  As far as vowels, I have an affinity for
/a/ (which is partly why it's so prevalent in
Kayasanoda).

Offhand: "felicity", "flower", "mission", "ocean",
"Sean", "Cicely", French "soleil", "synthesis"--and
suchlike.... and *not* "month" because I don't like
/V/.
