I remember though being very happy when I learned the word "hireth". "At last", I thought, "the word for me is found, I'm a bad case of hireth, pity I can't pronounce it properly"

..thank you, Richard.

"Hireth" is a Welsh word, isn't it? The feeling expressed by the word sounds very similar to the Portuguese "saudade." Is there a word in almost every language that expresses that same feeling?
