My Spanish verb statistics

Using the 123Spanish verb list of 3500 verbs I am finding:

About 40% of those will be compound verbs made fro pre-penders.  The most compounded verbs re bout 50 every day generic actions, each with about 10-15 compound verbs generated from it. The thee are another batch of slightly less used roots, and finally a much of specialize compounded. The basic roots that stick to a single compound meaning then are about 1500.

This is easy statistics, the Spanish system is fairly uniform.   In the end, a reasonable reader needs to select the proper context of a smaller set of words from 1500 basic roots. Or, th reading vocab is 1500, the speaking vocab is 100, measured in roots. The scientist always has a dictionary of some sort and with literary tricks gets 10,000 total vocab set. The scientist daes not cater to the oral sect, much if the science articles never meant to be verbalized, llke 6.022e23 was never meant to be  spoken phrase. Nor were stock table quotes.  Screw list table ad a bunch of other language techniques specialized to paper only.

The is an additional constraint.  The easy roots I grant to the oral tradition the more irregulars I get. But these irregulars are also the most common verbs to be compounded. Thee is a inherent conflict between the literary and verbal.
