"O for a Muse of fire [that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention]"
(KCD, Prologue to Henry V)
"[Maltz] did say, though, that there is a verb {ren} that means "design" or "map out" or "plan". He said that {renwI'} (which I guess in its most general sense means "designer") is a perfectly good term for architect, but it can also be used for someone who designs a vehicle, say. That is, it's not restricted to buildings. He said it would not be used for architect in the sense of someone being the architect of a plan to do something; it has to be used of a person who designs a physical object of some sort. {ren} is not the same as {'ogh} "invent", which implies creating something that hasn't been created before. And it's not the same as {nab} "plan" which is used for planning an event (or a battle strategy or whatever), just as the noun {nab} "plan" cannot be used to refer to blueprints." [MO to architect Lieven Litaer, 10/24/2011]
KGT 21: For example, {chab chu'} (literally, "new pie") is another way to say "new invention" or "latest innovation".
