Of course I know that message is already a verb, I was just trying to show how various morphological processes can be used to create other words from the same root, using real morphemes unlike made-up ones. As for the privateer example, maybe 'analogy' was not the best word for that, as private in this case is not a verb but an adjective, but it is still an example for an -eer derivation. And the whole point of this question seems to me to create a new word as a product name or whatever that is new but still based on existing morphemes.
