Scissors sizzurs psyzzas

There are over three hundred and twenty ways of spelling the word "scissors". The first two letters can be spelt sc, s, ps, or c, the first vowel i, o (as in women) or y, the ss as ss, s, z or zz, the final syllable minus the s as or, ir, ur, er or a, and the last letter s or z. Basic English only has eight hundred words. There are therefore enough ways of spelling scissors for that single word to form the basis of a written language, thus:

i) Many redundant features should be omitted, so there would be no articles, copula ("be"), gender, declension except for the possessive/genitive -'s or -s', only one preposition, a single demonstrative, no relative conjunction or pronoun and conjunctions can be expressed using the equivalent of NAND with the appropriate string of items or phrases, though there is a word for "no/not/is not". No future tense and "have" expressed using the genitive. Cardinal numerals are binary and expressed using the words for one and zero. The past tense and past participles are the same, expressed by a prefix.

ii) Pronouns are analysed into person and number, but as "I/we" versus all other pronouns, so each pronoun consists of two words. Other words are analysed similarly, so there are words for what, that, some, no, each/every, one, thing, kind, place, way, reason, time and quantity, which when combined are equivalent to words such as "why" (="for what reason"), "somewhere"(="in some place" (note that that "in" is whatever the word for the single preposition is). This is copied from Esperanto.

iii) Again from Esperanto, many other words are built up from morphemes which modify meaning. These include ones carrying the notions "opposite", "separation", "mis-", "repeated or continuous action", "-ness", "substance", "collection", "possibility", "place of", "tendency", "obligation", "single unit of", "offspring", "cause to", "instrument", "worthy of" and "holder".

So far, this makes seventeen words from (iii), sixteen from (ii) and six from (i), using up a total of thirty-nine spellings of the word scissors. The other two hundred-odd spellings of the word are allocated to the next two hundred most frequent words in English which can't be analysed using the morphemes mentioned already.

Here's a brief vocabulary:

Scissors - general preposition.
Cisas - "nand", "is incompatible with", "not both...and".
Cisaz - no, not, is not.
Cisers - zero.
Ciserz - one, including the pronoun.
Cisirs - past tense marker.
Cisirz - plural marker.
Cisors - "I".
Cisorz - you, she, it, he, they, this, that, these, those, thing.
(and so on).

So, if i wanted to express the sentence "my name is nineteenthly", it would come out as something like "Cisors' psyzzaz scissors sozurs cisers cisers cisers sozurs sozurs", which translates literally as "My name along manner one zero zero one one".

Two other things:

a) There is no word for "scissors". Instead the concept of scissors is expressed by a phrase which translates as "two joined handled cutting instruments".

b) None of the words are actually pronounced "scissors", so the word "scissors" is never actually spoken. If the language is spoken, the words act like Chinese characters, so they aren't _said_ as scissors, but in some other way.

Besides all that, the rarer words are the same as in English, provided the notions are simple, so in other words there is no word for "knife", because it would be "cisorz cyssors cuts", i.e. "thing which cuts" or something similar. Nevertheless, the majority of words in a given text would consist of the word "scissors" spelt in a variety of ways.
