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.
You are wrong, HSF theory is not a fiction but a reality.
And yet you can't provide any coherent evidence for it. Note that you
have NEVER provided evidence that doesn't ultimately end with you
assuming your conclusion (the fallacy of begging the question).

- Gon.
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.
?
Hint: if your own argument is so convoluted that you don't recognize it
when someone else applies it in a different situation, you should
realize that it wasn't a coherent argument to begin with.

Do not be silly! French au-jour-d'-hui is a multiple compound word and
its constitutive parts are well visible;

That's funny. I don't see the letters h-o-d-i-e anywhere in "aujourd'hui".
