Some time back, I noticed that the word "amongst" induces semantic satiation for me very quickly. I don't know why, but that particular word stops making sense to me in very short order, and to be honest, just looking at it while I write this post is already making it not look like a word.
This makes me wonder - are my problems with "amongst" just idiosyncratic, or can we make generalizations about how semantic satiation works? Are there certain words (or classes of words) that induce semantic satiation more or less quickly than other words?
