This is kind of blog part two listing 29 wonderful words Mervyn Peake’s novel, Gormenghast.

I previously listed 38 words from the first in the trilogy, Titus Groan.
 
I love words. I love their exactitude. Their nuances. Do you know all of these?

  • Recrudescence, marmoreal, astringency, ebullience, vellum

  • Heterodoxy, anile, evince, indolence, equability, redolent

  • Threnody, spavined, cynosure, immured, rôtier, bedizened

  • Oriflamme, untriturated, curvetting, palanquin, roseate, coracle
    ​
  • Disport, spinneys, lacuna, propinquity, cantonment, contumely.
