RiotNrrd:I wonder if "manĝilo" isn't plenty good enough.manĝilo is could be any old eating tool, it could even be chopsticks for all we know until someone shows you the physical thing.
Novico Dektri:kulero kun pikilojThat is understandable but its a sentence in itself, kinda large to just say Spork in esperanto

RiotNrrd:I wonder if "manĝilo" isn't plenty good enough.That word seems like it may be great nightmare-material
.Could "Pika kulero" work? (I was thinking "Pikkulero" but that'd probably be hard to pronounec for those whose languages don't geminate consonants often).

Evildela:
kuleroforko or perhaps
forkokulero
Fundamento de Esperanto: Compound words are formed by the simple junction of roots, (the principal word standing last), which are written as a single word, but, in elementary works, separated by a small line ( ́). Grammatical terminationsare considered as independent words. E. g. vapor ́ŝip ́o, "steamboat" is composed of the roots vapor, "steam", and ŝip, "a boat", with the substantival termination o.Thus:
kulerforko or forkkulero.
I think I prefer the second one, but only slightly.

ninjaaron_0:Actually it's quite permissible to have an O-ending between the elements of a compound word, if this is thought to improve comprehension or ease of pronunciation.Evildela:

ninjaaron_0:forkkulero.I liked it too, but as Tommjames said, an "o" might be necessary for those who can't draw out the k sound properly (compare "forkkulero" (fork-spoon) with "forkulero" (literally "fragment of a fork fellow", maybe referring to a bit of a pitchfork holding monster
I think I prefer the second one, but only slightly.
