Most Evocative
What to you are the most evocative words in the English language? Proper names included.
There is a subtle range of meanings for the word "evocative", but I'll leave that up to you as well. I started thinking about this after my mind drifted to the word "Spitfire".

This might sound strange coming from someone who was born and lived his whole life in Sydney Australia but for me one of the most evocative words is Gettysburg.
The battle, the speech at the dedication of the battlefield as a National Cemetary and the person who delivered it are all significant parts in the building of a nation. Tim
