Oh, I love a new word whose roots make perfect sense and yet give precious little insight into the word's meaning! I can't imagine I'll be likely to use it unless I need a fancy-schmancy word for "northern" with poetic overtones. I'd have never recognized this word's meaning outside of a very clear context, and I'm probably going to mispronounce it if I ever encounter it again.
