PS: SYBILLANCE is perfectly good English. SIBILANCE is the american knock-off version :p

Well, FWIW, Dictionary.com, which draws upon seven different international dictionaries, didn't recognize "sybillance."

And Orual has it:

If it hadn't been for OCS's lucky first guess, I would've kept you guessing quite a bit longer, I think...!

This is the first image that comes up when you GIS 'suzerain'. And that's awesome.
