(Sustel, 6/23/2018):  Marc Okrand gave a grammar lecture at Mythmoot V yesterday, and when he says there are three parts of speech (around 19 minutes in), he names them {Dip} "nouns", {wot} "verbs", and {latlh} "everything else".

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
  “It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms." (George Orwell, "1984")
