    Ah! More like a fusional, inflected language with (potentially) multiple
prefixes, infixes (::shudder:::), & suffixes, right?
    PIE-like conlang Degaspragos (sp?) comes to my mind right away and, to
some extent, CG's infamously twisted Maggel. IIRC Sanskrit can be in this class
too...not entirely certain tho'...

     Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars
leak, morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode,
orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics
warp... linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap...
