Oooo, shame, shame!  Not for the voluptuous purple prose, but for the
organization error in your leader.  Who passed it along?

By the way, we have words for morphology, syntax and semantics, but
what is the name of the level of language organization at which you
made your error?  One of the design principles of -gua!spi was to
isolate these levels as much as possible.  Such modularity makes
machine processing of the language much easier.  I have always used the
term "organization" to refer to the phase of assigning referents to
pronouns, and deciding which containing phrase a sub-phrase belongs in,
but I would imagine that this word is much too vague and that there's a
specific word commonly used for it.
