Exploring the idea of using existing phonesthemes a posteriori to derive vocabulary for conlangs. Which (in any language) do you find particularly evocative?

Not sure if this counts, but I am a big fan of /zl̩/ in "nuzzle", "muzzle", "guzzle", "puzzle", "dazzle", "confuzzle" (slang). It seems to relate to either snout-related things or confusing things, which is an interesting association (though maybe that might indicate that it's not a single phonestheme). Also, it sounds a bit like "fuzzy".
I also like /fl/ in "float", "fly", "flick", "fling", "flow" etc. There's something about it that feels very fluid and freeing.
I find it unfortunate that I don't know (or at least can't currently think of) any phonesthemes in any non-English language.
