Celestial : Positioned in or relating to the sky, or outer space as observed in astronomy:
espionage (ES-pee-ah-nazh)
It just rolls off your tounge...es-pi-on-age

immolate (IM-ah-late) — 1. to kill as a sacrifice. 2. to kill oneself by fire. 3. to destroy.
Admittedly at first grasp, it is a dark word, but I believe it to be not fully justified until further inspection.

It relates to anything which fails to do what it intends to do, such as a sentence without any purpose. I have no idea how it is actually meant to be pronounced, but I say it 'in-fel-i-SEE-shus'. It is amusing to ask people to try and say it. They normally pronounce it infelicitiously.Tangible -- Clear and definite; real:the emphasis is now on tangible results
