Exactly. That's why when on the Ouglopo list (the French Conlang list, 
which unfortunately never really took off), the subject of a French 
neologism came up for what in English are called "conlanging", "conlang" 
and "conlanger", I proposed, and decided to use exclusively to help them 
spread, the terms "glossopoésie", "glossopoème" and "glossopoète". They 
just *fit* ;)) .
