FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

One of my favorite neologisms is KUJTIMORE, an Albanian neologism coined by the young writer Enkelejd Lamaj. It is structured by adding the suffix -ORE to the noun KUJTIM (memory), which itself derives from the verb KUJTOJ (to remember) with the suffix -IM added to form the noun. The word KUJTIMORE thus refers to a “special place in everyone’s mind where memories are kept.”
