Well, they'l require the same amount of explanation. There simply is no word for <weiosr> until one is invented. Same goes for <doceng>: it's a word as used in the link shown above. Indeed """Languages, in order to remain a useful tool for communication on all levels and in all domains, need to be open and find new ways of expressing new concepts""", ain't it? | |

Sorry, if anyone wrote that they would have to explain what was meant by weiosr, that is not a short descriptive phrase for someone whose long-term memory (or sight) is playing tricks on them. | |

Dictionaries do not list surnames and their meanings unless they become eponymous, and are adopted as adjectives; e.g. Thatcherian, Dickensian, Hitlerian etc. Note too, that these words are usually spelled with a capital letter as too should Nietzsche and Lloyd. | |

| Jul 31, 2017 at 12:47 | comment | added | Pacerier | @Mari-LouA, It fully depends on the memory of the beholder. Eg https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/6170/is-there-a-word-or-phrase-for-the-feeling-you-get-after-looking-at-a-word-for-to/403295#comment148713_6170. ~~~ <doceng> is a name, like eg <lloyd>, <nietzsche>. These words exist and ain't typos, but the beholder may think they are wrongly spelt. He may """become convinced that it can't possibly... | |

The link told me nothing. It looks like an abbreviation, a shortening for document something or other. When I look at "doceng" and "weiosr", I don't have doubts about their spellings, I query their very existence and meaning. | |
