»lexiphanes

The oddly euphonic lexiphanes cheers me: although an adjective, it appears plural; it includes one of my very favourite roots, phain-, "to show" (cf. epiphany); and it means "bombastic, or "a pretentious user of words".

It is also a dialogue (of Lucian? in imitation of Lucian?), the name of an Athenian comic poet, and a sort of beetle.
