I was looking for an English equivalent to the Finnish word "cä" , which led me to the word sytystulppa meaning spark plug. I wish it meant "smart thug" to fit in into the acronym ST!
But the word sytystulppa although a mouthful to pronounce, can at least be written without stopping to add a glyph to a letter, common in the Finnish language specifically the letter "ä"
For now, my channeling of excess energy is to learn more Finnish words, so frustrating but beautiful sounding to my ears. This morning, I learned a few words such as lämpimämpi - warmer, lohi -salmon (subconsciously seen this on product packaging for smoked salmon), käärme (snake).
Vihdoin (finally), came across a 61 letter word, both hard to look at & hard to pronounce. I stop here with a sigh that in the middle of the 61 letter word, it contains the English equivalent of "HELP ME!"
I never found the equivalent of word "cä" in English terms. Tomorrow is another day!
