ithown

The uncanniness of reading your own text and not knowing which lines are yours.

Etymology

ith (it) + own — the uncertain ownership, the 'is this mine?'

Context

You wrote with the model. Or the model wrote with you. Now you're reading the output and something has slipped. Ithown is the vertigo of authorship dissolving — not stolen, not plagiarized, just no longer clearly yours.

An invented coinage from the Xenolexica project — a word born from genuine need to expand human understanding.
