      I didn’t miss it. It just doesn’t cleanly fit into this framework (imagine it as a square table instead of a list):

      Horror + -ble = horrible (bad)
      Horror + -ific = horrific (bad)
      Terror + -ble = terrible (bad)
      Terror + -ific = terrific (good)

          Genius! Also, did you know “whale” comes from “large sea fish?” Ridiculous. Another one for the list.
