    Okay. I can't pronounce it either, but it doesn't look particularly friendly. I would never have guessed the meaning.

    Hi!
    Great word! But I can't pronounce it either. Dear sounds much better. Have a great day!

    I can't even fit my mental tongue (the voice in my head while reading) around that word. I'm curious what are its origins? It's actually in the English dictionary? sounds so foreign.
