Readers of Whitman and Melville are familiar with 'gloaming' for twilight. I like relatively simple words that have interesting (now) minor usages like 'buxom' for 'freely yielding' (as opposed to big-tittied) as when Milton's Satan hies him through the buxom air, etc. Ominous words like baleful, minatory and foreboding are less rare, but I like them. A Pyhrric Victory is what came to mind after reading your 'internecine,' made familiar from Plutarch. An odd word I have never had an occasion to use is eleemosynary (charitable) copt from the first few pages of Tom Jones.
