Twincipal
Inflections plural twincipals; and corresponding plurals of the related forms (twuhs, twisters, twopps, etc.)
A school principal who is a twin; the head of a school considered specifically in relation to his or her co-twin. The capstone coinage of Professor Sendy's twin-series, formed by fusing twin onto principal.
“When the front office sent home two identical disciplinary notices, the students realized the school was run by a twincipal.”
— Professor Sendy
More broadly, any member of the productive class of twin-wombos: a person designated by his or her familial or institutional role together with the fact of being a twin, the two being collapsed into a single fused word.
Twuh (twin + bruh): one's twin considered as a casual male intimate or 'bruh'; a twin brother addressed informally.
“He dapped up the kid in the mirror like, that's my twuh.”
— Professor Sendy
Two (twin + bro): a twin brother; by Sendy's reckoning the contraction lands, against all odds, on the ordinary numeral two.
“I don't have a brother, I have a two.”
— Professor Sendy

twin principal Twincipal
blend of TWIN and PRINCIPAL, the terminal and titular entry in Professor Sendy's "Twin Wombos" cycle, in which the word TWIN is fused to a succession of familial and institutional roles. The series proceeds: Twin + Bruh = Twuh; Twin + Bro = Two; Twin + Sister = Twister; Twin + Opp = Twopp; Twin + Teacher = Tweacher; Twin + Professor = Twofessor; Twin + Father = Twather; Twin + Mother = Twother; Twin + Cousin = Twousin; and Twin + Principal = Twincipal. The unifying device is the substitution of an initial tw- onto the second root, so that the notion of twinhood is carried entirely by the opening syllable while the role-word supplies the remainder. Compare the parallel reductive series in which Twin + Bro collapses, improbably, to the pre-existing numeral "Two."
