How can I automatically change the font qualities of the first few words of a chapter?

How can I automatically change the font qualities of the first few words
of a chapter?

First off, TeX knows about words (since it does different spacing for
inter-letter, inter-word, and inter-sentence. There must be a way to tap
into this.
As for the Q, what I mean is emulating the common practice of many maths
books (for example) of changing the font family, shape, size, or some
transformation to the first few words of each chapter (or section, or
...). How can this be automated with TeX?



I have a way that works (below), but it has its own funkiness and I'm
interested in seeing others' solutions.
