Gorohk - it would be a noun meaning a natrally occuring object which by chance looks like something else. It can be used for any natural thing that looks like something else - for example a carrot shaped like a man's nose would be a gorohk carrot, a cloud shaped like a spider would be a gorohk cloud. It would not apply to any designed or manufactured item at all, just naturally occuring things.

I'd revive the idea of dual pronouns that disappeared by the time of Chaucer. Instead of us thinking of things as one-thing and more-than-one-thing, we'd be thinking of things as one-thing, two-things and more-than-two-things. "Wit", "unc" and "uncker" would be the nominative, dative and genitive first person dual, and "yit", "inc" and "incker" the nominative, dative and genitive second person dual.
However, an invented word won't get into a dictionary unless it circulates and is actually used by enough people to warrant inclusion in the dictionary. Dictionaries are *descriptive*, not prescriptive--they describe the current usage of a language, rather than say to people, "These are the words you should and should not use."
