I can't accept these claims until I know what they mean.

Ditto.  

Do you mean that the word "dream" occurs more than 420 times  (not counting the 3rd case)?   Can you at least give the number of occurrences per section?

Quote:| Morphological rule consistency | 500 random compounds tested against documented rules | 97.4% compliance |
Ditto.  

If it means that you have a morphological model for the words (a "word paradigm" or "word grammar"), You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., and something like 97% of all words fit my model too.  

But this fact alone does not mean that the language is inflected.  On the contrary, the nature of the model is quite unlike the morphological structure of Latin or other Indo-European languages.

I am interested in interpretations IF there is any justification for them other than "I believe that"...
