Hi Tommaso,

Newclear, Nooculyr, Nieuklier.....

As a lexiconophilist, I'm opposed to locking down the language. One of the silliest things about the French Academy was their effort to fossilize their language. One of the best reads I've ever had was the Journals of Lewis & Clarke, where spelling a word the same way twice in a row was a mark of inferior creativity. :)
