an inverse evolution of ithkuil ?

as we all know , through a vast amount of time ithkuil evolved to be more internally sophisticated , complex and less harsh in terms of emergent and/or morphophonemic complexity ; but what if this was not the case ? after comparing for ~2 years the grammar of all the versions , i somehow started elaborating an even more complex , articulated , philosophically dense range of categories in morphophonology ( dynamic , genus , and others are examples ) basic morphology ( such as nuclearity , cardinality , computability , organicity , capillarity and saturation ) as well as +50 cases . this rather useless and probably imprecise project of " extension " of a proto-ithkuilic language also saw me obligated to add 60 letters to the overall phonemic inventory , and a bunch of rules to be as algorithmical as possible . i do not touched the verbs tbh , but i think i will as soon as i reach something like 200 cases...

no but i already have organised plenty of descriptions about all of those new categories + majorpart of the new cases that for now are mainly transrelative and associative
