Definitions

noun

1

The study of phonaesthesia.

2

The study of euphony.

3

The aesthetics of a language's phonology, or the study or construction thereof.

Indeed, if there is anything at all to phonaesthetics, there must be some nonarbitariness to phonetic structure -- at least to people who have some phonaesthetic perceptions (as people on this list have admitted they have), if not to everyone.
