adjective sonlier · sonliest

  1. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a son. There's something sonly in each human being; but how well he hides it, and how unskillful we are at finding it! This "something sonly" is the vacuum of our hearts — a yearning emptiness that strains to be filled with Christ.
