Old word of mine just popped back to mind. Thought I'd share:

Preverbial: That state (as when one is first waking up or a toddler still learning to speak) when you're not yet ready to form complete sentences.

Heh. Useful. XD

You'd think. But it's four syllables. Far too complicated to use when you're feeling that preverbial daze.

Ah, so there IS a word for that.

Now, if one can just remember USING it when it's appropriate. ;)

Well, I have a word for it, yes. It's not officially a word. But I think it works. Except, as mentioned above, for its fatal flaw - four syllables are definitely too many to use during the preverbial hours of the morning...
