Sorry man, I am extremely underimpressed by this display. I thought you had more linguistic scruples than this. The beauty of words and language is that they are mere sounds or symbols that convey very specific meanings. The artistry of words is to combine them into ways that state what you want to say the most clearly. You just can't go making up nonsense that SOUNDS like it means something. This is like cutting out the k in knife because it is extraneous...maybe so, but you jsut can't do it and call it English. Just like in music you can't go throwing sounds together and expect it to sound like music. There are parameters. Well, I guess you CAN do it, you just did, but it loses all meaning. Remember Esperanto? You jsut can't go arbitrarily making up language, it just doesn't work. Now if you had been making new compounds based on real roots and following most standard English grammer... THAT would have been immpressive.
