Certainly, one badly done oligolang such as Ygyde is no reason to
ditch oligosynthesis over all, but actually, many oligosynthetic
languages have similar problems. That, though, still does not
mean that the idea was doomed, or not even worth experimenting
with. The art in designing an oligosynthetic conlang lies to a
great part in choosing a good set of basic concepts; and I feel
that you always need an escape mechanism in your language to allow
for proper names and similar kinds of words.

Lars is probably the resident expert, given the .no TLD in
his email address. Should he wish to take on the task is up to him, of
course.
Meanwhile, I can give it a try, but it will be awhile before I am done as I am
in the middle of acquiring the language enough to have basic conversation. (Jeg
lærer norsk!) I hope to be fluent enough for simple conversation with distant
relatives who will be visiting soon. (De reiser fra Norge. De snakker engelsk,
men jeg vil gjerne snakker norsk med dem på familieselskap.)
(How'd I do, Lars?)

Any chance of a translation into English for those of us who haven't yet
learned Norwegian?
