-===== Neologisms, Nonce Words and Names =====
-==== Portmanteauing ====
-In the Threadwielder tongue, new words are created chiefly by drastic portmanteauing of composite words. In so much as it's possible, pronounceable and not too outlandish, words are occasionally outright folded into each other, as long as the composite word can still strongly insinuate its base words.
-An extreme example: The name "Evenatra" stems from //evenatar//, as the composite of //evenar// and //venat//, forming '//grace of the sky//'. Most portmanteauing is not //that// extreme - names are more frequently reduced to this form as an aesthetic exercise more than a fundamental attempt at brevity.
-Think of it like poetry.
