The re-use of the "c" as a soft c in "hallucinate" and then a hard c in confabulate is confusing, and probably affecting the uptake of your neologism.

- fhars 3y agoYes, it would probably have to be halucinfabulation for purely phonetic reasons.
- mindcrime 3y agoMaybe if I added a hyphen? "halluco-fabulation"?
- singingfish 3y agowould lead to hafabulation. Still not acceptable in my view - confabulation is clearly the correct term
