I find it hard to believe that you can't use -tum for creative word formations
in German too.<br>

Sorry if the link doesn't work.<br>
<br>
1) <a href="http://www.canoo.net">www.canoo.net</a><br>
<br>
2) enter "tum" in the search box<br>
<br>
3) click on "Derivation - Nomensuffix -tum"<br>
<br>
4) Click on "alle Ableitungen" (I only tried "Nomen zu
Nomen").<br>
