septentrional

[prettygoodword]

septentrional - adj., of the north.


A rare but lovely word. From Latin septentriones, from septem, seven, + triones, plow oxen, refering to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, also sometimes seen as a plow. It has a sort of boreal/autumnal sound to it.

It's very melodic; yet another one for the 'must use somehow' file :)
