Interesting concept and fun to read your post!Massimiliano B wrote:yoppoy = theyMassimiliano B wrote:y-y = it turns a personal pronoun into a personal possessive pronoun or adjective
yyoppoyy /j:op:oj:/ = their?Massimiliano B wrote:tukkut = to work

Not that you shouldn't have homonyms, of course, but you're definitely going to end up with more like that.Massimiliano B wrote:The longest word is:
Öttaluparumurapulattö = indescribable
Do individual parts of that word have meaning, like a (word-central ) part that means "describe" and a circumfix that makes it negative or makes it an adjective?

...
I was aware of the problem with yoppoy, but I hadn't realized that tukkut has two different meanings. But I could say that you would distinguish the two meanings by the context.
About yoppoy, my idea is that we could say yiyoppoyiy, with an epenthetic-circumpositioned -i-.

Massimiliano B wrote:So, in order to answer to your question, I would say that the central part of öttaluparumurapulattö, which is -rumur-, has to convey the core meaning of the adjective "indescribable", which is "describe", and that öttalupa/apulattö (or ötta/lupa-apul/atto) are lexical circumfixes conveying certain semantic content. I would say that ötta-attö means in-, and that lupa-apul corresponds to -ble. So the world literally means in-ble-describe-ble-in.

Well, you really could just leave it as yyoppoyy, too. For example Estonian does have jj in some illative forms (majja = into the house, ojja = into the creek). I do have to say that /j:op:oj:/ sounds like it should be some sort of onomatopoeia for expressing surprise or jumping/falling movements, though (and mentally for some reason I'm imagining the /p:/ as an Estonian-style overlong consonant instead of long: "They were just walking along the pier and then suddenly - yyopppoyy! /j:op::oj:/- they fell into the water!")

Massimiliano B wrote:About the onomatopoeia implied by yoppoy, I have to say that for this conlang I tried to invent words thay have clumsy and funny sounds (at least for me and for an Italian speaker), which can be interpreted as onomatopoeia.
Double consonants are very long in this conlang, like the ones in Estonian!
