Bucky Did It, Why Not You? Second Course

Creativity Challenge 2002 #37

Many years ago while I was an architectural student I read several books and articles about and by Bucky Fuller. One of his common traits was to make up his own words when English did not have one that fulfilled his need.

Over the past 40 or so years I have noticed this trait in other intense thinkers in many fields.

Let's play with one approach by using Suffixes this week.

Use the following list of Suffixes to create new words each day. Select 6 Suffixes randomly and apply them to 6 to 12 words each day and create some new words. Carry your chosen daily Suffixes with you all day long and experiment making up new words with new more specific or broader meanings.

Please share your new words.

The following Suffixes tend to be used to change words into A-adjectives, N-nouns or V-verbs

al a arium n ary/ory a,n ate n, a, v ence/ance n er/or n ia n ic a, n ile a ine a ion n ism n ite a, n itis n ity n ive a, n ize v ment n oid resembling oma n ous a s n sc/esc become, change sis n um n ure n y n

These of course are all English and probably USA English versions.

Are prefixes used in similar fashion and ways in your country if you do not live in the US or other English speaking countries? What might be an example of your Suffixes and how they change the meanings of the original words?
