You have the terminology swapped.
etabnannimous = predictable by rule, but the rules are very complex
maggelit(in)ous = not predictable at all.
> English and French on the other hand are definitely etabnanneric. Oh, yeah!
French is rightly etabnannimous, but English is somewhat maggelitous, perhaps
10-15%. The rest is etabnannimous.
