Not yet, but it's surely gonna be a feature of Maggel :))) . I even think I
could extend it to all compounds of Maggel. In Maggel composition doesn't exist
as in German or Dutch, nor even as in English. It makes compounds by freezing
phrases, like French does, but when the phrase is frozen it gets slowly eroded
phonetically. At first I had thought to reflect this in the orthography (making
interesting words that pluralise by changing the middle of the word, since
Maggel is strongly head-first and frozen coumpounds tend to keep the features
of the phrase itself :)) ), but for some compounds it could be different :)) .
I think it's gonna be part of the language :)) .
