Celerloquent does not run that smooth and celeriloquent smells of celery. Tachyloquent looks nice as long as it means fast and veloquent (trombion) reminds of bicycles. I agree on celerloquent. Celeriloquent is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable. And yes, the tachy- in tachyloquent is from the Greek for fast.

zoomiloquent or tsuwmiloquent If mixing Greek and Latin roots isn't edgy enough for you. And tsuwmiloquent would mean 'using obscure or worthless words.'

that's as may be, but I was using the really obscure (Hebrew) sense of tsuwm, meaning 'to fast' (as apposed to zoom, 'too fast').

Celeriloquent is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable. Wha-at?? Cel-AIR-iloquent is impossible; cel-AIR-IL-oquent is just too...mooz.
And, tsuwm, NOW you tell us, after fourteen years, that your name is from Welsh?!

But then I grew up in a part of the country we we learn to speak distinctly. And you've got it divided up kinda funny-like. It's suh LAIR uh luh kwent.
