  • deliquesce: To melt away. To disappear as if by melting.

  • glossolalia: Fabricated and nonmeaningful speech, especially such speech associated with a trance state or certain schizophrenic syndromes.

  • banausic: Merely mechanical; routine: "a sensitive, self-conscious creature... in sad revolt against uncongenially banausic employment" (London Magazine).
