You look up a word in a dictionary ( http://dictionary.com ) then put the definition here for people to guess what word it is.

1. a structure spanning and providing passage over a river, chasm, road, or the like.

 

[Khedive Rex]

Bridge.

The ringing or sound of bells.

By the way, if someone succeeds in actually guessing this you are officially a vocab god.

 

[Ultrajoe]

Ok, anyone can think of a word for that... but what about one that starts with an 'L'

It exists.

Tinntinnabulation. (That's right, I went there!)

and the answer above was simply fracture. I know, not as awesome a word but I'll make up for it this time

Ultrajoe, put a definition I must answer.
(Aside: This thread is going to scare the living pants off of newcomers who aren`t as garrulous as ourselves.)

[adj] Come to a greater point of understanding; usually in a religious context.

 

[Saskwach]

Damn, I'm stumped. Nirvana isn't right because it's about the state rather than the act of achievement; same for enlightened. Epiphany is also wrong. Salvation for the same reason: it's something you have. Enlighten is something you do to others, not yourself; edify ditto.
GAH!
Come on Saskwach, you're better than this.

Well unless any of those turn out right I'm just dying to give mine anyway (sorry Anarchemitis):
a soft murmuring or rustling sound; whisper.
Starts with s.

Edit: Is it 'divine' by any chance? Also, I don't think your word is, by the way you've described it, an adjective. It might also happen to be one but not in your case; that's a verb.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Enlightenment, enlightened.

[noun] Used to cast a shadow on a timepiece.
