LAMBENT: Is the soft rosy glow from dying coals. You might use it with the light that lingers after sunset or the light that comes before dawn. The emphases are on soft and transient.

PLEACH: Weaving vines or branches to form a hedge fence or canopy over a pergola. Pleach is also the word for crude basket or wreath making.

All are new to me. I like lambent. From Latin lambere, "to lick" (according to dictionary.com). I can envision the lambent play of light on a man's smirking face as he strikes a match and lights his lover's cigarette.

Did you come across these in a story? It would be interesting to see them in context.

I came across lambent in a story, it was used to describe light seen in a cabin far away from the observer.

Pleach was listed as a synonym for a word I looked up.

I'm a fool for the etymologies of words.

I keep a glossary of rare words.
