Although we've used this as a morpheme on the List for years - eg. *{Holtej} "linguist, philologist", *{Hovtej} "astronomer", etc. - the only Okrandian example I'm aware of is {'otlhtej} "someone who studies quantum mechanics" (reported by De'vID from qepHom 2014; cf. {'otlhQeD} "quantum mechanics/theory" < {'otlh} "photon").
