Horse is "ykepebo" = "noun strong warm animal" in Ygyde.
I could say "ykepebo obojo" or I could invent a new word,
for example: "okebojo" = "noun strong animal vehicle".
Of course, you may say that "okebojo" is a vehicle
pulled by elephants. I believe that precise compound
words are too long. "ta-leowalkailu" is longer than
any English word that I know.
