I've recently begun studying Greenlandic, and it has made me wonder just how useful "polysynthetic" actually is as a term: https://kechpaja.conlang.org/blog/2026/04/16-greenlandic-and-polysynthesis.html.

@kechpaja One question is what level of agglutination you need to reach before a language counts as polysynthetic. Is Turkish polysynthetic? The answer may depend on whether or not you are one of those people who we could not turn into a city-dweller.
