OK!! I didn't understand that words accumulation could be used around the
sentences. I tought that a sentence were closed when all the preciding nouns
were in a single group, linked be several operators.. But if they can be
used as long there is a speech, the deck probably has to be completely used
when a speech ends, there should not stay any unused nouns? Or maybe fithian
may keep some nouns for another point he's planning to say, in an
argumentation or in a speech cut by interventions of someone else, with
their words crossing their talking times, or maybe even sharing some nouns.
Sharring a noun with someone else may be a form a poetry, or even a kid-game
for people thinking that way: one give a long list of nouns and the other
has to add other nouns and modifiers to form something inteligible
Also I imagine that in that world, stopping someone who's talking is a real
mark of disrespect because the whole sense may wait to the end to appear and
cutting someone stop that meaning.
.....
Finally, that's too complicated to understand: I'll continue to work with
simple concepts.. or try to invent one I'll be mentally able to master.
