Ghost

[Brownlie]

it is a word I made up. Maybe plods instead?

A Neologism

Yes, you will find them in many of my poems. If the word I want doesn't exist, I make it up and try to make the meaning obvious. Some people it bothers, some it doesn't. You noted lobula last time, someone pointed out fustic once, many pass unnoticed virtually forever.

Well trod is in the dictionary as the past and participle of tread.
