Oh... well... sure... of course, in English! I was at the time thinking of some Latin or Greek input. For instance....


From the Latin (with Greek suffixes)....

Abutologist (abutographer) - skilled user (could be abuser) of the (written) word.

Logopariologist (logopariographer) - one whose skill brings forth words (the written word). (somewhat mixed with the Greek, logos)


Or from the Greek....
--------------------------------
Logomageiros (logomageirosist or logomageirist?) - (skilled) one who cooks up words - or - logomageirographer - (skilled) one who cooks up the written word.

Logophile (logophilogist) - (skilled) lover or words - or logophilographer - (skilled?) lover of the written word.

Logiophile (logiophilogist) - (skilled) lover of words - or - logiophilographer - (skilled?) lover of the written word..

Logopole - a dealer in words.

Philomuthos (philomuthologist or philomythologist?) - one (skilled and) fond of speaking - or - philomuthographer/philomythographer - one (skilled and?) fond of speaking the written word(?).

Polumuthos (polumuthologist or polumythologist?) - one skilled with many words - or - polumuthographer/polumythographer (polymythologist?) - (skilled?) lover of many written word.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorta partial to logopariologist or logopariographer. Or even logophilographer.

What do you think?

Yeah... maybe wordsmith!

I like logomageiros. Purely for the sound of it. And it kinda fits.

But logopariologist / logopariographer fits better. I think.

Now I'm wondering what Dutch word I'd use for this...
