Fabeligo (noun)
Pronunciation: fah‑beh‑LEE‑go

Definition:
A small, bright burst of imaginative energy that appears when someone suddenly invents a story, idea, or playful exaggeration without meaning to.
A fabeligo is the moment when creativity slips out before you can stop it — a spontaneous spark of myth‑making, whimsy, or narrative flair.

It’s not the story itself, but the flash that causes the story to exist.

Etymology (playful, invented, linguistically plausible):

From Old Imaginate: fabel — “a tale, fable, or embellished truth”
+ Proto‑Ludic suffix: ‑igo — “a sudden happening; a quick spark”

Related to the imaginary Romance verb fabeligare, “to slip into storytelling without warning.”

Thus:
Fabeligo = “a sudden fable‑spark.”

Sample Sentence:
“When she saw the moon caught in the branches, a little fabeligo flickered through her mind, and suddenly she was telling a story about silver‑eyed owls guarding forgotten wishes.”
