This has so many logical holes in it it's unbelievable. 1. If the
process of agglutination is ONE of the first steps, it implies that
there were other steps, not that only agglutination occurred. 2. The
first steps are irrelevant anyway because we're not talking about the
first steps, we're talking about ordinary language evolution long after
the birth of spoken language. 3. The etymology given for "hospit" *is*
based on agglutination anyway. 4. Your remark makes as much sense as
claiming it's impossible to get from Latin "hodie" to French "aujourd'hui".

The first postulate of my HSF theory says that the ur-syllables Xur
and Bel have been affixed by the third primordial syllable

Sorry, I'm not interested postulates that *come from* a theory I already consider to be fiction.

Using this "formula" I see that the development in a direction similar
to "host => hospit" is absolutely out of the question.
French "aujourd'hui" is the compound word au jour d'hui (de hui)
meaning something like "on the day of today" and French hui (today) is
derived from Lat. hodie. As you see... nothing to do with the above
(hospit, host) example.

It has everything to do with it, since the method of formation is the same, a method of formation that you said is impossible.
