I call my language Ygyde = "simple language."
The best root word is "ju" from the adjective
table. It means "loud." The same syllable (ju)
taken from the noun table means "road." The first
letter of the compound word explains what part
of the speech it is and which table is the root
word taken from. Although this system (described
in the prefix table) seems complex, it is necessary
to double the number of root words. Your name
(ydazicuza) is 9 letters long. Such long words are
not mentioned in the prefix table, so nobody knows
if the root words are taken from the adjective
table or from the noun table. I suggest:

ydajume = "noun small loud recorder"
or
ojumume = "noun loud chip recorder"

"Chip" means electronic circuit. Letter "j" is pronounced
as "Job" and letter "e" is pronounced as "bEd."
The syllable preceding the last syllable is stressed
(stressed antepenultima). I prefer the last definition.

Word "compressed" is not a root word. The closest root
words are: massive, pump, force, manipulation/processing.

It is theoretically possible to make 9 letters
long compound words if we make a rule explaining
how to build such long words.

Yes, making compound Ygyde words is fun, and a sort of
art as well. You have to understand the idea you are
defining and make a definition that sounds distinct
from other definitions. I do not believe that Ygyde
needs more root words. If we add more root words, they
will be used as stand alone words, rather than roots
in compound words.

By the way, I have never mentioned auxlang politicks
and have no interest in any kind of politicks.
