| Citazioni | ...Latin allows the nouns to establish their relation to each other and to the verb [...] Eliminate the Latin case suffixes ('-a' and' -em') [...] and we cannot afford to be so indifferent to our word order. We need to husband our resources. ...pitch variations are phonetically essential to the language, as [...] in classical Greek (e.g., 'lab-on' 'having taken' with a simple or high tone on the suffixed participial' -on', 'gunaik-on' 'of women' with a compound or falling tone on the case suffix '-on'). |
