How about:
sunaslusaf=E1i, MY word for creator?
Su- Gender prefix (non-gender-specific sentient; ti-=3Dfemale, na-=3Dmale=
)
na- One who
s- Antipassive (one who creates, not one who IS created)
lu- Causative
safa'i Come into existence
Itself descended from se"hafa'qi from se"ha' (to be) plus -fa'qi
(begin to)

Other than just mixing together derivation and unique vocabulary, I
don't know. There's several ways to come up with unique roots, you can
use a computer program (such as langmaker (http://www.langmaker.com)),
just "come up" with them, distort English or other language words
randomly, whatever floats your boat.
