Small plants growing from the trunk of a big plant.

Christmas tree. I goofed because firs are more
often used as the Christmas trees. Crushed needles
of spruces release a pungent odor, so I am redefining
these trees:

fir = ynadebe = "noun religious big plant" (an)
spruce = yludebe = "noun smelly big plant" (an)
pine = ybydebe = "noun dry big plant" (an)

I understand physics well. High voltage makes
electric motors more efficient, but it is a hazard.
Human body has a rather high resistivity, so the
110V current is not likely to kill a human. The
high current cannot flow through the human body
when the voltage is low. If you touch a thick,
bare copper cable that carries a huge current,
you will not be harmed, but if you climb a high
tension pole and touch the hot wire, you will
suffer severe burns or death.

Yes.

AN> bread = ofyby = "noun foam food" (AN)

HST> Ummm... but what about granola? Or pita?

granola = obofeby = "noun wet powder food" (an)
pita bread = ozaby = "noun container food" (an)

Ygyde is the funniest language in the world and for
this reason alone it deserves to become the international
auxiliary language!

True. I guess this sounds better:
to deep fry = ipeguci = "verb warm liquid manipulation" (an)
