Two english words.
'Countenance' and 'prodigious'.
The first means a person's emotional expression, his or hear bearing. "He displayed an angry countenance."
The second is a synonym for 'remarkable', 'accomplished', 'noteworthy', and so on. "He traveled 60 miles by canoe in a single day: a prodigious feat."
I noticed these words in a 19th American novel, maybe they are new to some people.

In response to your question for Frank: yes, I always read your entries and they are mostly useful :) I do not write comments, because usually I do not have anything to add to that, but I do enjoy them.
