gutytolcanci ?

Why can't the appearance be as a result of a motion into?
{klama} is too fat a gismu for this concept, and I can't find
anything else.

I think the other one is useful as well. Maybe in different contexts.

Travel using a vehicle???? No way. (I wouldn't use the one I proposed either)

No, it's not {tolba'i}. That's more like "insignificant" than "mediocre".
I think {nalba'i} is ok.
Also maybe {malkau} (mabla kampu)

They are opposites, in some shade of their meaning. (And {malseznei} is
closer to "egolatry" than to "ego(t)ism")
