But I'm thinking I'll definately need to do a bit of compounding if I'm
to get anything remotely similar :)

No, because while the irregularities are normal, there are many options
for how the irregularities come about so you don't know which regular
irregularities we're talking about; and anyway, didn't you see Padraic's
definition of Maggelity? (Etabnannery is regularity hidden behind a
facade of apparent irregularity; Maggelity is pure irregularity, or
perhaps irregularity sometimes hidden behind a facade of apparent
regularity.)

I wouldn't know. What's the difference between Romantic and Classical?

I should point out that at the moment of regularisation, the nominative
form (which it gets regularised to) is sitting at something like /CouM\/
or /Cou/. But do say what you think of it if your eyes stop rolling.
