BTW, has a new word, ?Provoqium?, been invented? I can?t find it in any dictionary. Comes up as a variation of provoke.

The spelling is 'unorfadox'! Provoquium would be legitimate classical Latin, from provoco, provocare - to challenge, provoke or bring about. The 'ium' suffix is for 'a place where...', as in 'auditorium', and the modulation of 'provocium' to 'provoquium' is conventional.
