Well, you have the best minds available and ready to put to work. While we're waiting for them to weigh in, I'll toss out the following.
You have a multiplicity of choices, when he tells a lie, it could be "clodfibble" or if he displays minor character flaws it could be "clodfoible" if he turns out to de a daydreamer it could be "cloudfobble".
So you see, you have a lot of choices. As for miniaturization of "clod" We could look at the progressively smaller fobbles right on down to "femtofobble"
As for particle sizes we have this from pocket ref:
boulder >256mm
cobble 64–256mm
pebble 4–64mm
granule 2–4mm
very coarse sand 1–2mm
coarse sand .5–1mm
medium sand.25–.5mm
fine sand .125–.25mm
very fine sand .0625– .125mm
silt .0039–.0625mm
clay <.0039mm
