Alternative template

 

Here is another perhaps clearer way of presenting much the same schema as the template used on previous pages. Different presentations of the paradigm give emphasis to different habits and structures but they all describe the same processes, slippery though they are.

Any paradigm like this is useless without an accompanying set of rules. The model only depicts the elements from which vords are made. How they are made, how the elements combine, is governed by rules, or rather probabilities.

Yes, the model is misleading because it suggests all possibilities are equal, but it is only intended as a guide to the resources of vords. In fact, some possible combinations are far more likely than others. Indeed.

The template is not intended as a vord generator, but even so I don’t see it as a fault in the model that it might generate non-vords, or non-extant vords.

This presentation fails to underline that QOKEEDY is the default vord and that the tripartite consonant-vowel sequence is derived from the default. Once again, the basis of this vord paradigm is the observation that the default vord QOKEEDY is made of three syllables each with conosonant/vowel: qo - kee - dy. I take that as the basic pattern, the matrix.
