What are some words with unique or fascinating characteristics?

I recently discovered ”heterological.” Homological (or autological) words are words that describe themselves: “terse” is terse, “noun” is a noun, “pentasyllabic” has five syllables, and even “homological” is homological. Heterological words don’t describe themselves. What about the word “heterological” itself? Is it homological? Is it heterological?
