So Humanese, it took words from various former Human languages,
but the main one it’s based on, structurally, is English. And with that came
the adjective listing rule. Basically any noun with multiple adjectives lists
them in the order of quantity, opinion, size, age, shape, color, any proper
adjective , and then finally purpose or qualifier. Many brown dogs, for
instance. Blue giant impressive dragons, that just sounds weird.
And yet, the first alien race we met, the Azarians, they
ordered them alphabetically. Got on Humanity’s nerves.
Now, I’m not saying that CAUSED the war, but it sure didn’t
help…
