power to cause adhesion; adhesive.

Syn: polysynthetic, holophrastic.

2. (Philol.) Formed or characterized by agglutination, as a

In agglutinative languages the union of words may be
compared to mechanical compounds, in inflective
languages to chemical compounds. --R. Morris.

agglutinative compounds. The Finnish, Hungarian,
Turkish, the Tamul, etc., are agglutinative
