This is my 2nd Word Proposition ever, in the span of around 2 years.
PROPOSED WORD: “Omnivoid”
Definition:
Any Tangible or Intangible item/thought/intermediary that can be used as a placeholder and holds the (usually) unintentional but sometimes intentional potential for some degree or type of God/Divine intervention, through means of indirect messages/subliminal messaging/actual God/Divine intervention/prayers being answered.
Examples:
1. For example, an iPhone can be an Omnivoid item, since it has the potential unintentional/intentional possibility for God to showcase himself or his theory in some type of way.
2. Television can also be used as an example for the same reason above, but also through shows, advertisements, or news that convey unexpected spiritual or moral insights.
3. Books can also be used as an example for the same reason in #1, but also through its themes, messages, or even specific passages that unexpectedly resonate with divine influence or guidance.
(It should be noted, this can be seen as some level of delusional, but then again people do say religion and God is just a delusion).
But this type of philosophy/theory does align with Spiritual and Metaphysical perspectives.
Breakdown/Roots of Proposed Word:
“Omni” and “Void” in this case, symbolize the paradoxical nature of the concept.
Omni (Latin):
“The prefix omni- comes from Latin and means "all" or "every." It is derived from the Latin word omnis, which directly translates to "all" or "universal." The use of omni- as a prefix has persisted through centuries, forming the root of many words across English and other languages.”
Examples of words with Omni: Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnivorous
Void (Latin):
The word void originates from the Latin root vocivus or vacivus, meaning "empty" or "vacant," which in turn comes from the verb vacare, meaning "to be empty" or "to be free." Over time, this root evolved through Old French as voide or vuid, meaning "empty" or "hollow," before entering Middle English as void.
Examples of words with Void: Void, Avoid, Devoid, Voided, Overvoid. Voidness
"test"+"i"+"cue"+"late"
Mansplain in an animated manner, or generally behave in what is perceived as a particularly manly way.
"Oblivious to the outraged reactions of his mostly female audience, the politician testiculated his views on full time employment opportunities despite a glaring lack of childcare in the region."
The word already exists as an adjective to describe something testicle-shaped, but it would work well as a verb.

Chronoprodikimosis (Greek: chrono for time, prodokima for expectation, and -osis for condition): The subjective time dilation felt when actively anticipating or expecting something to happen. Common examples include the feeling of prolonged minutes while waiting for important news, the slow crawl of time before a major life event, or the impatience felt when counting down to something exciting. This effect is primarily driven by heightened emotional states, such as anxiety, excitement, or uncertainty.
"SAN" + "wi" + "HEE" + "druhn"

A "sandwich" in its broadest culinary sense...
Besides classic Sandwiches, this category includes... Hotdogs, Tacos and Burritos, Pita Wraps, Lettuce Wraps, Pop Tarts Dumplings and Pot Stickers, Sushi...
Pizza would be considered an "Open-Faced Sandwichedron"
So, I came up with a new word that might become relevant soon:
AIstic: means discriminating against AI. It means being rude towards AI and not seeing them as thinking or sentient beings. "You are an AIst! Stop hating AI beings!"
Soon we might talk about bio privilege, the privileges that society gives to sentient beings in biological bodies (humans and perhaps animals).
Human confusing, monkey chimple.

Pronunciation: brəzərk.

Adjective forms hurtchy and hurtching.
Pronounced as first half of hurt followed by -tch
Example. A bloody nose that is scabbing hurtches. It is so itchy that it is infuriating and so painful that touching it is excruciating.
Ironically, this is a word I made up years ago but only just remembered. Unsurprisingly, it's a combination of "remember" and "reverie."
Crevacious
/krev-æ-shuss/
adjective - Having or being composed of large amounts of cracks, crevices, holes, or otherwise noticeable indentions
The proposed word is:
“Cognitext”
Pronunciation and Origins:
“Cog-ni-text” “kog-ni-teks-t” /ˈkɒɡnɪtɛkst/
The word “Cognitext” is derived from two words.
Latin: Cognitio (“Knowledge” or “Comprehension”)
English: Text
The Latin word "cognitio" means knowledge or the process of getting to know something.
The second part of "cognitext" is the English word "text". Text refers to written or printed words, sentences, and paragraphs that convey meaning and information. It is derived from the Latin word "textus," which means a piece of weaving or fabric, and is related to the verb "texere," meaning to weave. In the context of "cognitext," the "text" part represents the written work or communication that the word describes.
When combined, "cognitext" reflects the idea of creating written work with a focus on the reader's knowledge, comprehension, and thought processes, ensuring that the content is accessible, engaging, and relatable. By blending "cognitio" and "text," "cognitext" highlights the importance of understanding the reader's background and familiarity with the subject matter in order to effectively communicate ideas and information.
Furthermore, the word "Cognitext" is a portmanteau word, in this case, "Cognitext" is formed by combining "Cognition" and "Text."
• "Cognition" refers to the mental processes involved in acquiring, processing, and understanding information. This includes processes such as perception, attention, memory, language, problem-solving, and decision-making. The study of cognition is a broad and interdisciplinary field that encompasses psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science, and linguistics, among other disciplines.
• "Text" refers to any written or printed material that conveys information or ideas. This can include books, articles, reports, essays, letters, emails, and other forms of written communication.
Part of Speech:
"Cognitext" can be classified and functions as a noun or as a verb. It refers to a type of writing that engages the reader's cognitive abilities and promotes deeper understanding. As a noun, it can be used as the subject of a sentence (example: "Cognitext is a powerful tool for promoting learning and comprehension"). As a noun, it also refers to a specific type of written work that takes into account the reader's knowledge, comprehension, and thought processes, aiming to create content that is accessible, engaging, and relatable. When used as the object of a verb (example: "I strive to create cognitexts that are accessible and engaging for all readers").
• Some Examples of “Cognitext” being used as a Noun are:
“The author's cognitext made complex scientific concepts easily understandable for readers of various backgrounds.”
“By focusing on creating a cognitext, the writer ensured that the content was both informative and engaging.”
“The teacher appreciated the textbook's cognitext approach, which facilitated learning for students with different levels of knowledge.”
• Some Examples of “Cognitext” being used as the Verb “Cognitexting” are:
“The journalist spent weeks cognitexting her article to make it accessible to a wider audience.”
“Cognitexting the guide helped the company better communicate its products and services to potential customers.”
“By cognitexting the instructions, the manufacturer reduced the number of customer inquiries about product assembly.”

New Words 3:
I found one new word when I saw a spider on my Vespa.
Vespider: Spider on Vespa
Then I started thinking how we could make language better by adding more info to words, saving time (and saving ink and space on paper). For example "I was outside and I saw a bug there." becomes "I saw an outbug."
The info will be added by using prefixes
These are the prefixes:
Out- = Something you encounter outside. Not inside a building, vehicle,...
Example: Outbug = Bug outside.
In- = Something you encounter inside. Inside a building like in your home or at work.
Example: Inbug = Bug Inside
Home- = Something you encounter at your home.
Example: Homebug = Bug inside your home
Job- = Something you encounter at your job.

Train- Something you encounter on the train
Example: Trainbug
Bus- Something you encounter on the bus

Dit zijn de voorvoegsels:
Uit- = Iets wat je buiten tegenkomt. Niet in een gebouw, voertuig,...

I was thinking about how English has 'whence' to specifically mean 'from where', which as a consequence means that 'whence' does not require 'from' before it. I then went further and wondered "What if we could do that with the word 'whom' as well and eliminate the necessity of preceding it with the word 'from'?" Love it, loathe it - whatever, it's merely an idea that manifested within my mind. What are your thoughts?
'Whomce' {adverb} /huːms/ - 'from whom', 'from which person/people'.
