Human Valentine

I love how some words widen out
To include even their opposite meaning
There's something generous in that
Or to become a word of one
Repeated letter w-w-w-w
Or l-l-l the names of the upper gods
That heal the lips that speak them
What word would you use
To describe a word
That doesn't want to be a word
That refuses pronunciation 
The self-contradictory word
Unspeakable doesn't quite say it
