Snarkenfaugister

A snarkenfaugister is an artisan who lovingly hand-crafts all those small, unremarkable, but necessary, little artefacts that are necessary for the full enjoyment of a busy modern life in NoThingfjord. He might specialize on very small clothes-pegs for indoor use, or half-sized cocktail sticks for people who do not normally take long drinks. The term may be considered of historical and academic interest today, as the last known snarkenfaugister died twenty-seven years ago in a freak pencil-sharpener accident. However, the term is of great use to a crossword compiler who also runs a pet-shop on Pelicool Steps, and who is much-vexatious to Havelock Vetinari for the diabolical crosswords she produces for the Ankh-Morpork Times.
