I have just invented the 'ortho-palindrome'.
Now, we all know that a palindrome is a word that looks and spells the same when written forwards, or in reverse.
Look at these words:
1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess
What do they have in common?

Now I'll work on neo-onomatopoeia!

Those are very nice words but I don't get the "ortho" part of "ortho-palindrome."
I made up that word.
The 'ortho' bit suggests that it's not quite a palindrome - but nearly.
I got that you made it up but doesn't ortho mean something like "normal" or "straight" or "correct"? So if you are making up a word for a palindrome with a twist... well... do you see my confusion? How about uropalindrome since each word you listed has an extra letter stuck on the end after it is palindromated?
Le Sanglier wins the prize.
Congratulations!
Yay! It was really hard. I had to google all those prefixes myself. Now... what have you come up with for neo-onmatopfohadsof?
