Elfin Too!

[wsodonnell2]

I've always liked elfin, which has a rather more expansive set of meanings.

From Merriam-Webster at:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elfin:

having an otherworldly or magical quality or charm

Synonyms: alluring, appealing, attractive, bewitching, captivating, charismatic, charming, fascinating, enchanting, engaging, entrancing, fetching, glamorous (also glamourous), luring, magnetic, seductive

Seeing this word always reminds me of a certain long-lost lady friend. The frisson lives on.

So, can we complete the alphabet in synonyms? All we have so far is: A, B, C, E, F, G, L, M, and S.

I'll add, if you agree, a W: winsome.

[LukeJavan8]

"lithesome", but that is already an "L", taken. Good thoughts
I will give it some more.

[Perry Lassiter]

D - darling (an expression I hate as in "wasn't that darling?) in a high pitched voice.

[LukeJavan8]

Y - 'youthful'

[LukeJavan8]

J - juvenescent

[LukeJavan8]

I - "Impeccable"

[wsodonnell2]

The last three letters of the alphabet are obviously going to be the trickiest, but it's worth a shot...
(It looks like the guys at Merriam's need to bush up their alphabetizing skills.)

[LukeJavan8]

Well, I put youthful, above, but the next one
"juvenescent" is the same and much more poetic.

And "Z", could be "zany" but that really does not fit.

[LukeJavan8]

Perhaps "Zesty" or "Zestful" ??

[Slava]

Well, this is building up nicely. Much to my surprise, to tell the truth.

However, I must question xenophilic, yeasty, and the to me completely cryptic Zelda-esque.

At least I know what the first two mean, even if I don't agree that they have anything to do with elfin. The Zelda reference leaves me at a total loss.

[LukeJavan8]

I would like to know the criteria for acceptance into the list.
I made a number of suggestions, none accepted.
Is this list serving some purpose or just the
initial posters' collection of words? Without an answer
of some sort I am no longer interested.....Zeldaesque
as opposed to zany or zesty. What is Zeldaesque???
And how does it and xenophilic refer to Elfin, please??
