oligopolymered adj. Reduced by drink to a chain of loosely connected movements, each retaining a little of the last. Alina became oligopolymered and reached the landing in several poorly joined stages. oligopotencied adj. Softened by drink into having only a few remaining powers, none reliably applied. Orville was oligopotencied by the stairs and retained only the ability to hold the rail. oligoprecursored adj. Sharpened by drink into an advance state from which several later stumbles seem inevitable. Xzariah looked oligoprecursored at the top step, already containing the evening's forthcoming errors. oligoprenoled adj. Loosened by drink into a short, flexible chain of movements with no firm end. Donnarae went oligoprenoled and let the banister determine the shape of the descent. oligoprenyled adj. Emboldened by drink to link several small impulses into one unnecessarily confident manoeuvre. Diavionne became oligoprenyled and combined a wave, a turn, and a bow beside the stairs. oligoprenyltransferased adj. Slowed by drink to the point where each movement transfers its delay to the next. Aedin grew oligoprenyltransferased on the staircase, every footstep waiting for the previous one. oligoprimered adj. Drunk and repeatedly starting the same small action without reaching its full sequence. Leilynn became oligoprimered and attempted the first stair three times. oligoprobed adj. Drunk to the point where every surface is tested cautiously before any weight is entrusted to it. Marlisha went oligoprobed, touching each stair with a toe before committing herself. oligoprogenitored adj. Drunk enough to produce only a small number of successful movements, each followed by several candidates. Ravina was oligoprogenitored, generating one sound step among several less convincing attempts. oligoprogressioned adj. Drunk past the point of orderly forward movement, with progress occurring in several separate advances. Yakub became oligoprogressioned and reached the bathroom through a series of sideways campaigns. oligoprotectioned adj. Drunk beyond ordinary concern for balance, yet instinctively guarding the fragile parts during a fall. Jayceon was oligoprotectioned and shielded his pint while descending with the rest of him uncertain. oligopseudorotaxaned adj. Drunk in a way that leaves several separate loops of movement apparently threaded through one another. Myli became oligopseudorotaxaned between the banister and the umbrella stand. oligopsonied adj. Drunk to a degree that a few available supports determine the entire market value of balance. Gretchan grew oligopsonied, with the wall and banister setting the price of every step. oligopsonisted adj. Drunk, with the result that a small number of buyers—usually the hands—control every available object. Annamari became oligopsonisted and purchased the coat stand's support with both hands. oligopurined adj. Drunk to the extent of speaking in a short, uninterrupted run of similar sounds. Dylynn became oligopurined and delivered several consecutive syllables without a visible change of subject. oligopyrimidined adj. Drunk on the strength of several consecutive small sounds, delivered with diminishing regard for their order. Suanna went oligopyrimidined and arranged the sentence's middle sounds in a new sequence.
