Looks like you forgot to put a comma in your post, OP. I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Do you mind reposting a revised edit of your original one, please?

The name "Gibraltar" is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name Jabal Ṭāriq (جبل طارق), meaning "mountain of Ṭāriq",which is named after him.

Copied and pasted from Tarik Ibn Ziyad's wiki page.

>Garrulous

Read it a lot in Kaufmann's Nietzsche translations. Not sure what the original word was in German, but Nietzsche must have used it quite a few times. Especially applicable nowadays, too: "Excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters."

>Moraline

Same as above. Both applicable and yet relatively unheard of nowadays.

>Cornucopia

Limited opportunities for use, but it sounds good.

>Albeit/Insofar/Inasmuch

Not so much my favourites, but definitely useful when I was trying to cut down word counts whilst still saying (or seeming to say) a lot in essays.

>Absolute

But only when pronounced as Absol-yute, which was the pronunciation used by Zeus in one of those God of War games.
