nononomasiologicalastragal

<p>onomasiological refers mainly to dictionaries structured by concept rather than alphabetically, but i see it as
conceptual structuring in general
 </p><p>
add a non to the front and you get its opposite, nonconceptual arrangements
  </p><p>
astragal is a type of beaded plaster molding, an image i think is on bartleby's..
  </p><p>
Well I usually don't have hard and fast definitions for these agglutinative constructs i use,
but if i were to follow the music i'd say
  </p><p>
its basically 'non-conceptual molding' or segmental trim whose every segment is not necessarily arranged by conceptual agency..
  </p><p>
There is also the Spanish-esque reading:
  </p><p>
No no no Mas-iologicalastragal
  </p><p>
Also for the pseudodyslexiconographers, there is the shadow of astragalus which seems to pop up,
also Astral Gal, and then also perhaps the composer Luigo Nono, though I havent the foggiest why..
  </p><p>
I suppose there is a bit of criticism there, about the seeming conceptual void in certain structures..
who knows..
  </p><p>
Basically I liked the word onomasiological, and wanted to tinker with it, then really liked
Nononomasiological, because of the NO NO NO just jumping out..

My fascination with agglutinatives goes back to my first German Class when I was like 17..
My teacher was a native german and on his office door he had a word which he said meant
'keg party' but the word was like fifty letters long.. I supposedly was a real word.. I thought
I had it written down some where but I've lost it over the years..
  </p><p>
I sometimes talk about these words to my friend Andy late at night while we're taking a break from work,
He usually breaks into the song 'I like big butts' but he substitutes 'words' for 'butts'.. I always
find this amusing.. :) </p>
