SAE = Standard Average European, the metaphysico-grammatical commonality of
Romance, Slavic and Germanic languages which marked the built in thought
pattern of westerners, according to Whorf. It is not clear just what all is
included but certain the noun-adjective-verb distinction grammatically that
pointed (or from) the thing-property-action metaphysics (independent things
have dependent properties and participate in more dependednt actions -- all
of which are eventually things again). Probably also obligatory tense and
time as external and linear (or partially ordered), gender and sex
differentiation even in inanimates, and whatever else differeed markedly from
Hopi (verbs throughout, circular time, process metaphysics, ...)
