    I like fractious — it originally referred one inclined to make “fraction” (Discord), now it means “irritable; argumentative; quarrelsome”.

    “In his present fractious mood, she dared whisper no observations, nor ask him any information. Whenever I asked her about her last two relationships she decided it was only her imagination. ”

    I ran a computer search for all the 8-letter English words where the third letter had a descender (pqgyj), the sixth and eight had ascenders (lbdfht), and the other letters had neither. I got the following words:

    acquital, aegrotat, argental, argentol, arquated, augustal, capsidal, capsuled, capuched, cryostat, engirded, engouled, enjambed, ergostat, expanded, expected, expended, experted, expiated, exported, impacted, imparled, imparted, impasted, impended, imported, imposted

    Topnotch is on the list because t has a “low ascender”, so it could count or not — but I would not use it because the uses the second word with the first and second t without

    the ascender and the third word with.
