Classical Yiklamu is certainly complete enough to be of practical use, but
phylogenetically later varieties will be much more practical after some
high-frequency open-class forms have been worn down to closed-class
derivational (and other) processes. (CY doesn't have any derivational
morphology, but it does have a very large lexicon.)
