Six Senses

A. The five senses are sight, hearing, taste, touch and small. What is sometimes referred to as a six sense (or extrasensory perception) is a power to be aware of things independently of the five physical senses, a kind of supernatural sense.

1. SightGlance  (to give a quick short look); Glimpse (to see a very short time or only partly); Notice (to see or become consciously); Observe (to watch carefully); Peer (to look carefully or with difficulty); Star (If a film, play, etc. stars someone); Witness (to see something happen, especially an accident or crime)

2. Hearing: Scale of loudness: noiseless -> silent -> quiet -> noisy -> loud -> deafening

3. Taste: Sweet (honey); Salty (crisps); Bitter (strong coffee); Sour (vinegar); Spicy (Indian food)

4. Touch: Finger; Stroke (to move a hand, another part of the body, or an object gently over); Pat (to touch gently); Tap (to hit gently, and often repeatedly, especially making short, sharp noises); Grasp (to quickly take in your hand(s) and hold it firmly); Grab (to take hold suddenly and roughly); Snatch (to take hold of suddenly and roughly); Press; Handle

5. Small: Stink (to smell very unpleasant); Evil-smelling; Putrid (decayed and having an unpleasant smell); Aromatic (having a pleasant smell); Pungent (A pungent smell or taste is very strong, sometimes unpleasantly strong); Musty (smelling unpleasantly old and slightly wet); Fragrant (with a pleasant smell); Sweet-smelling; Perfumed; Scented (having a pleasant strong smell, usually because a pleasant-smelling substance has been added to it)

B. Six Sense: different phenomena which a person with sixth sense may experience:
1. Telepathy: experiencing someone else’s feeling even though you are apart
2. Premonition: knowing something is going to happen before is occurs
3. Intuition: instinctive understanding
4. Déjà vu: an inexplicable feeling that you have already been somewhere or experienced something.
