Dabelle’s E-list
Dabelle has a thing for words that sound good or just roll off the tongue. Here are her top 10 favourites starting with the letter ‘E’
- elephantine
- ebullient
- eclectic
- elemental
- eish (her favourite South African word)
- escalier
- ellipsis
- emollient
- epistemology
- eurythmics
Note that the word ‘exercise’ is not on her list. She doesn’t mind taking photos of exercise gear but steers well clear of doing any. Eish! She’s not keen on getting all hot and sweaty.
