Analytical Language of John Wilkins

As you all are aware we were to read the 4th article of the kit entitled "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins". After reading this article I found that alot of the terms created by Wilkins in his new language made really no sense at all. Although there appeared to be similarities between his new words such as "imafo" for pesthouse and "imari" for house, they were still very difficult to comprehend. But then again I guess thats the case with any new language you attempt to learn, all the words probably seem very foregin to the learner because the have never seen them before. However what struck me as the most peculiar were the recipies at the end of the article from the "Nonsense Gazette, for August, 1870". I'm not ashamed to say I have no idea whatsoever as to how these recipies are linked to the rest of the article. hahaha I'm sure the fact that I had trouble getting through the article in the first place contributes to my non-understanding but any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
