It’s a steam whistle with gears on it. Nothing could be more steampunk.

After “Frumious”...

One I like the sound of: Eekhoorn (Dutch): It's pronounced like acorn but it actually means squirrel. I love similarities across languages in the way the same sounds can make completely different words, but sometimes means related things.

One I like the meaning of: Kalsarikännit (Finnish): Translated roughly it means "underweardrunk", or to get drunk alone in your underwear at home. It's one of those words that captures the essence of something that I find incredibly amusing.

One from a language I will probably never learn: Echor (Elvish): Meaning 'encircling mountains'. Gotta say, Elvish has a really nice sound to it, I've tried to puzzle through pronunciation guides for it, but I couldn't really get the hang of it.

Hat rhymes with cat. Steampunk cat it is.

Because Sonder is in English

One I like the Sound of:

Tartle (Scottish) Word meaning to hesitate while introducing someone due to having forgotten his/her name. 

One I like the meaning of:

Duende (Spanish) It’s original use was to describe a mythical entity that lives in forests, sort of like a fairy or a sprite, that possesses human beings and causes them to feel awe, fear, or a sense of beauty in their natural surroundings.  

One from a Language I will probably never learn:

Iktsuarpok (Inuit) the feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet.

Makeshift drying rack for painting wands. Just bamboo skewers to hold them away from the paper.

A departing shout of "last one out, lock the door!" to the vacant halls.
