Re: Writing system, not sure which one to use.
The fact that Akkadian used Sumerian cuneiform for hundreds of years or that Middle Persian used Aramaic words as logograms suggests that "maximizing the possibilities" is rarely a high priority in selecting a script for most languages. :p that's a naturalistic effect ... naturalism by nature follo...

Re: Minimizing the noun-verb distinction? [split from Random
