Indeed, it is perfectly regular, and their aren't that many deviations from my
"Latin violation scheme". Maggelity? Strange, AFAICT it would be quite easy to
pronounce for a Pole. I can pronounce them myself, without much trouble; a real
Venedian would probably think that I am a Venedian from abroad :))
BTW The word "Maggelity" really ought to be lexicalized. Why don't you submit
it to Oxford, Webster etc.?
Your fame will be eternal.
