Certainly an uncommon word, glister--but then,
this article seems to be in the "offbeat" section...
After checking Atomica, 
glis·ter (glĭs'tər) 
intr.v., -tered, -ter·ing, -ters.
To glisten.

n.
Glitter; brilliance.

[Middle English glisteren, probably from 
Middle Dutch glinsteren or 
Middle Low German glisteren.]


I thought I had them on that intransitive thing,
but no. Hmm--does the t disappear when glister
is spoken, like it does in glisten?

I'm not finding lingot; is it a typo?
But surely glister wouldn't be one--it's
in the headline!

I checked my Chambers (hi, Jo! ) dict.--
where lingot would be if it were there, is
lingua, the sole def. of which is:
"n(anat) the tongue; a tonguelike structure".
