WOW! An interesting read. But that raises a question.
Could a language be designed in such a way as to
defeat Grimm's law. In other words, is there some
design which, due to its inherent simplicity or
efficienty, would be more resistent to change than a
natlang?
I.e., does change occur just for the sake of change,
or is there some notion of "striving" toward a "more
perfected" form? And if so, could a more perfected
form be designed which would thus resist change?
