In Dutch that means 'to piss', but is maybe a less offensive
register. :-)  However...

Oh, that's far less than I had quietly estimated.  Very doable indeed.
I had expected like 400~500 at least (are there so few consonant
phonemes or are the combinations restricted?)  Anyway, it would be
very interesting to see the script in action!  A triconsonantal
abudiga -- very nice and unique AFAIK! :-)
