I don't know if you mean to imply only two coinages, but,
off the top of my head and for what its worth,
I've never been able to find dictionary entries for
1) larvorium, which I take to mean a place occupied by larva(e),
hence a cocoon or chrysalis; and
2) stang, which I take from context to be a steel or metal rail at
the entry to a bus.
