Well, I'm not sure I know exactly what the English word means.
I can find "subgenus" in my English dictionary, but not
"subgenius". If you mean "smart person, but not quite a
genius", or "minor genius" then I'd say {wIghHom}. If there is
some sense of pretense going on, of course {wIghqoq} is an
option. Are either of these close enough?
