potential new "neo-greek" vocab words?

[litteratus]

i think that it is a common difficulty for any translator to accurately and succinctly convey the meanings of certain words in any foreign language. likewise, the student of greek often has to deal with words in greek that are ungainly to render in english, with the natural result that the english is either incomplete in meaning or awkwardly long. my solution- make up new cognates!

neo-greek word of the day:
"hyperphrone" (v.) [cf Gk. υπερφρονεω]
1. to think too highly of something
2. to have an overly arrogant or bombastic view of one's own self.
ex. (common usage) Tom Cruise: "my movies are the best ever because they are only ever about me"
Thrasymedes: "you're hyperphroning again Tom... get serious..."

does anybody else have any good potential new cognates?

[litteratus]

more fun with cognates: neo-greek vocab part II:

"thumistic" (adj.) [cf. Gk. θυμος]
1. spirited, passionate, brash, fiery, zealous
ex. "As a student of the classics, he proved himself to be most thumistic, with the natural result that his professors took to nicknaming him 'Thumistocles'"
