And consider that when 2 walkers go for a walk, a fast walker (like myself)
must slow my walk for my friend as the slower walker may not be able to
walk as quickly ... I assume the same is true for speakers, so auxlangs
must take into account the complexity and length of Entish speech.
Therefore, Auxlangs must be flexible enough to permit Ents to speak
comfortably, too ...
