Rob is referring to my "Morphological Analysis" message of a week or so ago.
These aren't really my phrases but analyses of phrases found mostly in the
Zvelebils' Grammar. And I'd be happy to send you a copy, but I don't have it
with me. If you don't still have it, I'm sure Rob or someone can send you a
copy sooner than I can.

I find it kind of spooky that the phoneme distribution between those phrases
and the lexicon should be at all similar, because the phrases make use of
forms of probably less than 20 different words. This says a lot, as I had
suspected, about the skew of the current lexicon.

We may need a temporary ban on /a/ and /r/ until things even out a bit.
