No kidding?! I was unaware of that. I thought it was randomly generated by the internet for the "Ode to Steengo". Cool. So that's what Steengo is muttering about.
Sorry, I've made an error, it means "hugely stupid people" since the -eg is after the stupid, not after the people. It really, really looks like an esperanto word. -eg means big. -ul means person. -oj is a plural noun. It could be random, but it fits perfectly within the rules of the language and just looks right.
Good to see you with Amar! We played with him at Luggage Store Gallery last year. Enjoying the use of text, and electrified comb and CD. Nice sounds on the bass flute!!!

The name of your piece means "big, stupid people" in esperanto. is this on purpose?

Works for me; it's totally in character for Steengo to say that.
