My current favourite German word is Außergewöhnliche but I still love the Dutch for hanging on to zeeëend because to my (limited) knowledge, it's the only Dutch word with a trema. four Es in a row - like a night out at De Melkweg.

Or, let's go wild with cœur or indeed phœnix. Ligatures can be fun.
