I'm dying of curiosity. How does the above word actually break down?

Unable to enter this highly amusing engagement, due to a) the shortness
of words in Mungayöd, and b) the relatively early stage of develompent
that Glïzxföösee is still in. Glïzxföösee has some potential, being a
highly incorporative language (i.e. the direct object, and all its
trappings (including an indirect object), are incorporated into the
verb). Ask me next year.
