Oh, how very funny. I've just checked back in to see what any hubbub might be about the listering lingots and finally read the copper-toned article--to find that glistering lingots were, in fact, glistening ingots as I'd first misread. How curious and funny.

I've never read lingot knowingly--and it appears to be a well-known word--is it?--when I would have expected ingot to be the more usual. Was the writer of the article going for the poetic?

Now about glistening ingots. I do agree with et' that it isn't an 'ugly' sound. And et' suggested that we should say glinstening ingots several time to become more at home with it.

Try that. Yes.

But then trying glistening lingots several times quickly (for a challenge). That el stuffed in does call for a rather nimble tongue.
