That's 902 monosyllabic verbs. That's a pretty strong trend. So, when wanting to make a verb meaning "lumpy" out of Clarence Rutherford's name, there's pressure to call it {tlher} and not {tlherenSe'}, since that would create the first trisyllable verb in the language, and the concept of being lumpy is just not important enough to be that exceptional.</span></font></p></div><div><p
