Esteemed Finnish conductor and wildman Leif Segerstam has a unique insight into the expressive possibilities of the English language:
"I have words for everything that can be expressed:
Coincidentimently
Embryomalic
Electrifically
Fiveishness
Flimmer
Inexclickable
Fenugrish five things
I am fluxating in 8.
It is a Valsefy."
Graham Nasby has an extensive archive of Segerstam's astonishing neologisms.
