Thanks! I don't want to create a separate dialect per se, but I would like 
to try to see all concepts covered within the first three sumti. I think a 
three slot rule of thumb is a good idea, really just a corollary of the 
more general KISS principle. I think I will pursue this, albeit just a 
little bit at a time. For now I will be happy to suggest one word that 
means `x1-travels-by-mode-x2-via-route-x3`.
