>Dyslexic people recognize morphemes as indivisible units.
I still don't exactly what you mean by this. Some non dyslexic people also recognize morphemes as indivisible units.
>don't have a finite list of words that could be memorized this way.
No language has a finite list of words. Words are created all the time. And yes polysynthetic speakers can still memorize clusters of morphemes as individual words. Any phrase with enough habit becomes automatic, their components blend, and a singular unit is recognized.
>Morphemes are unambiguous
Not all are. Allomorphs exist for this reason.
>Many have nonlinear morphology that make it impossible to even draw syntax trees
See the pic along with my post, taken from Baker's Polysynthesis Parameter, for an example of what you claim to be impossible. You can read the entire paper for even more examples.
