Answer:

flongboo, flangwayers, hippers, hangjasts

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonsense words are commonly used in literature for poetic or humorous effect, nose sense words could be nouns, or proper names that are created for the characters or places in a fictional story can be considered nonsense words since they don't denominate things that exist in reality (examples of nonsense words in this excerpt are: flongboo, flangwayers, hippers, hangjasts.)
