Hmm... In the context, reasons are being provided for why English
lost many inflections. Presumably the fact that many speakers were
conquered & uneducated & Welsh & peasants is said to have
contributed to this. Does the ordering and grouping have anything
to do with the fact that these words are noun, pure adjective,
verbal adjectives in English? Would saying {tercange je natmrkamri
je tolselctu je se sadgunta} for example give a very different impression?
Are "essential" properties more likely to appear as tertau and
"accidental" ones as seltau?
