There is a collection of beautiful/funny
words, in the German link below.

'Yakamoz' = 'the reflection of the moon in water',
from Turkey, ranked #1

The Italian 'Jella' = bad luck
of course ranked #17
(#17 means 'bad luck' in Italy:
a paranormal thing?)

The Arabisch 'Donia' seems to be interesting
and ranked very high, but I do not know
its meaning: 'welt, leben' (world?, love?)

An 'inuit' friend told me that 'Nuannaarpoq'
(not in that collection) should mean
'taking an inordinate [or extravagant] pleasure
in being alive'. Pleasure?
