Thanx for your comments. They're very necessary though I ain't that

Is this a rule for all words of all stems?
I believe the word nati becomes natja in compound words, or am I 
wrong there?

This word I actually have got from you, I think. But when I had it on 
my website as html document, the í in faírweit had become a strange 
sign that I just guessed could be u...I hade like 50% chance to get 
it right there...but never

Isn't the word waldus? And why should that become walþu- in compounds?

Thanx for this one.. I have tried to figure out a good word for this, 
but never found out any. This is good.

You mean replacing -modei to -haidus in all?
Like spillamodei > spillahaidus, wiljamodei > wiljahaidus.
These words didn't I create myself, and don't remember from who I got 
em. Actually, modei, is not that good, is it?

As a understand intandjan mean incinerate, burn up or consume by fire 
(Köbler) and I think that differ a bit from what I had in mind.
Can the word inflame be used in the meaning 'inflame a conflict'?

This word I took from dekavurian, and just assumed it was a ja-stem.

Your suggestion for anarchist, 'reikisaka', is ok. What gender and 
stem?
If I remember right icelandic has, when it comes to such words, the 
loaned forms. Like endings in -ism, -ist etc.
Thats why I have it in these neologisms too. But some could have 
synonyms i think.
