I am looking for a list of all English words that are their own antonyms. Off the top of my head, I can only think of "either", "fast", "to dust" and "to lease", but there must be dozens more. Can you provide a link to a comprehensive list, if such exists?  Also, what are such words most commonly called? I like the term "Janus word" I once heard, but is that widely understood?  Edited by popular demand to make it absolutely clear that this is not a community wiki poll.

I'm thinking similar to a , but you could break the word at a different or multiple places.  Granted I cannot think of a real-world example, but I have included two situations where this has happened.  If I had a domain name that was photospork.com, this could be interpreted as:   photo + spork, a gallery of a cutlery collector's obsession with sporks, or photos + pork, a culinary site dedicated to showing users the best cuts of pork.   Another example is when I named a work project toolscore, which can again be represented as either:   tools + core, to represent the core component of the tools, or tool + score, to show the highest score reached using that tool.

Is there a word or concept that describes words lacking simple (e.g. less pretentious, less technical, less subjugating) synonyms, or more generally words without single-word synonyms. I'm looking for lists of words that defy "plain-English" translation, in an effort to identify "essential" vocabulary. I'm thinking of the vocabulary equivalents of least-common denominators.

In a paper, I need to mention something meaning "intermediate approaches" and looking for a suitable word or phrase for that.  For example:  Approach 1 is ...  Approach 2 is ... (Approaches 1 and 2 are the two opposite extremes of the possible approaches)  We have studied many intermediate approaches [between approach 1 and approach 2] and the results are shown in Fig. 1.

I know that there is an adjective with that meaning. I just cannot think of it or find it online. I'd be very grateful if someone pointed out a word that means "easy to dismiss" or something similar.  It intend to use it in a sentence similar to this:  "His criticism is ______."

I assume that in English there is a word for everything, and I am looking for one that roughly means "of few words" or "of no words". The closest I could think of is non-verbal, but it sounds a bit too dry. Is there a better word?  Note: I did check for antonyms of "verbal" before I posted here, but didn't find any.
