Feuillemort (French) - Literally "dead leaf" in French, it describes the color of withering leaves—muted browns, yellows, and greens blending together in decay. It's often used poetically to convey autumnal tones or fading vitality. Glisk (Scots) - A fleeting glimpse or flash of light, often associated with moments of brief clarity or insight. It carries a sense of something ephemeral, disappearing as quickly as it appeared. Snirtle (Yorkshire dialect) - To stifle a laugh or snigger quietly, often when trying not to be heard or noticed. It has a playful, mischievous undertone. Smaze (English) - A combination of smoke and haze, used to describe a dense, smoggy atmosphere where visibility is impaired. It carries a sense of suffocation or unclear perception, both literal and figurative.
