you guys can make fun of nouniness for being banal, or childish;..... How about serious? I'm not making fun of, but I see a way to have fun with the word and I know my grandchild loves those made up songs.There's nothing wrong with the word. (words) It would as belMarduk mentions be a fun-learning thing. Imagine. The YTube vidoe is nice. Sounds's nice, images sugar sweet like cinnamon bun. And I don't talk Latin.  And finally I'm angry.

but I find it refreshing that linguists can occasionally come up with a functional word and not get all pedantic and unapproachable.

Not banal or childish at all, Tsuwm mon chou.
Sing-songs are phenomenal memory aids and tend to stay with you long past the time when monotone sentences, uttered by stoic teachers, have long been forgotten.
Take "interjections" as an example. No matter how old I get, the Schoolhouse-Rock song about interjections will always twitter through my head to remind me that
"Interjections, show excitement,
or emotion,
They're sometimes set apart from a sentence
by an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong."

Ta, Bran and tsuwm. There's a great interjection of exasperation in Rhenish German: o wei o wei. The first time I heard it used I thought they were trying to say boy oh boy in English.

Alas woe! Rash anger never serves, I know.
Sine dubio.
No doubt,Tumet ipse quoque.
That may happen when you get angry.
O wei owei, for sure. A collision, a misunderstanding. There is no icon for saying:
"I do not ridicule your word". (I just liked it)
Thanks for interfering, zmehjzd.
