The 'Recent words' list at the moment contains a long sequence including: contralto, legato, spiccato, staccato, con legno, armadillo, pizzicato, crescendo, decrescendo, . . .

I imagine it as a kind of muffled xylophone effect.

"The very meat we eat, when set on the table, if it be native, I mean of the country, perfumes the whole room; especially a little beast called an armadillo, a thing which I can liken to nothing so well as a rhinoceros; 'tis all in white armor, so jointed that it moves as well in it as if it had nothing on: this beast is about the bigness of a pig of six weeks old."

- Oroonoko, Aphra Behn
