Re: proposed conlang database & my classification

I'm actually not clear on this group of terms. Could you give me a rundown
on what all of isolation, inflection, derivation, and agglutination refer to
exactly?

*isolation. And you forgot about inflection. Not all languages have
modular affixes; in fact, only two of my six successful grammars
agglutinate at all. They all inflect to some degree. Or do you define
agglutination as any system involving affixes?

Hmm... my dictionary has only glue-related terms under "agglut-". From ad
(to) + glutino (to glue)?
