Corphishy recommends building a word for "pungeant, piquant"
ɛ̄sidzur /ɛːsiʣur/
stative verb 1. to be intensely smelly
Derived from: ɛ̄sidz /ɛːsiʣ/ "to be smelly, to have a smell", and hur /hur/ "intense"
Next word: shapely, having a pronounced shape or form, being recognizable firstly by shape/form.
