The first word returned by WordList["Verb"] is "aah", even though I think it actually an interjection, I still wonder whether there lies any rationale in it; or is it just a bug?

    It is a rarely used form of "be" (2nd pers. singular): "You ahh so wrong!". The verb appears in some famous songs as well like "We ahh the champions" and "Youth of a nation". ( I hope I'm still allowed to make jokes as a moderator).

Jokes aside, it indeed seems to be a verb in the English language. Look at this wiki entry:




Verb: aah (third-person singular simple present aahs, present participle aahing, simple past and past participle aahed)




An example would be




Everyone who came by oohed and aahed over her new appearance.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
