I take it the above calling German agglutinative was sort of a typo,
because well, it isn't, except having many compound words.
Indeed. The proliferation of compound words is noteworthy, but it's not
generally considered an agglutinative language. From what (very little)
German I know compounds tend to be restricted to nouns, as opposed to
languages like Turkish, Japanese, Korean,...
Esperanto, on
the other hand, is usually described as agglutinative.
I'll take your word for it :)
