Found my way here from Lev's Six Things. I thought poop deck was a real thing--at least as far as a seafaring term, so not a nonsense word? No matter, I wanted to throw in a vote for "thicket" a word that makes my mouth happy to say. So beautiful!

I’d like to better understand what the definition of ‘beautiful’ is in this study. Is it meant to describe a word’s appearance in written form, its sound when spoken, its common meaning? On what basis are we to judge a word’s beauty?
