As one of perhaps 3 living people who have actually read Whorf's
papers on oligosynthesis (not kidding, I think the number is a
maximum) I must sadly relate that I think Whorf was quite wrong about
its existance in UA lgs.  There are only 2 lgs that I know of that
use the principle, one of them is my conlang Nova.  Based upon my
admittedly limited knowledge of Duplex, I think it is the other although
I believe the author (sorry, don't remember your name) arrived at
the principle wholly independently from Whorf (or me for that matter).

FWIW, I hope to edit Whorf's 2 unpublished papers on oligosynthesis
for publication this year.
