    ObConlang:
    Having written this, It came to me that perhaps I should
expand my list of rate-of-change markers in rtemmu to
reflect differential change. Thus, rtemmu now includes

pker  = an objectively observed process,
            the parts or aspects of which  change at
            different rates

ner  = a subjective process,
            the parts or aspects of which  change at
            different rates

"language" would thus be "ner rtemmu" if considered
and "pker rtemmu" if observed.
