Because guessing games are fun:

Slickle is clearly onomatopoeia for something I probably don't want to know what.

Cadine is a name (which is certainly a type of word): http://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-cadine-891835.htm

Tribution and Revergent are likely plays on con- prefix removal and substitution (contribution, convergent). If they are not part of some jargon, they will be. Similarly, the morphological construction for Unitory (-tory is the latin agency prefix) I can certainly believe it to have jargon usage.

Trephony could be a form of this noun for different grammatical situations: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trephone That would suggest to me that it may be a biosciences jargon term already.
