i could almost wish nothing of understanding
the noun: collateral...
i will not bother with the definition,
although:
something pledged as security for repayment
of a loan, to be forfeited in the event of a default...
why bother with the definition...
when you can simply skip the definition and
embroil / invest yourself
with the alt. to a definition...
a synonym usually helps...
collateral the alt. of:
security, guarantee,
pledge... bond... now that is much simpler...
isn't it?
but then coming across collateral
as... an adjective:
hell... the grammatical terms...
i hope to simplify them...
noun: name... what something is called:
or put to inquiry / question:
the end of a curiosity...
adjective: accessory... well...
let's be flamboyant... once upon a time:
the brothers grimm tall tale of the adnoun...
in addition to:
a dog... there would be something
beside the tail... hangs... leash...
the barking and the growling...
in addition: to be attributed to it...
a higher quality...
a woman's attire...
her dress... yes... her shoes... yes...
but a purse? is that... an adnoun of...
a woman's attire? lipstick...
stockings...
we'd need the fundamentally
basic rubric of what constitutes
a woman's attire...
back to the dog: a mad dog...
frothing at the snout...
a picture enchancer: detail = adjective
to tier: the coarse earth...
the tenderness of sky...
verb: a bit of a pickle...
the synonyms are...
deponent (and a rich history at that...
i always seem to concern myself with
history per se: etymology...
and whatever the world
owes someone like genghis khan...
is beside the matter, nor the ticking clock
and the glowing yawn of the universe...
loquitur: he or she speaks...
not exatly loquor)...
gerund (when a verb can act as a noun...
beside calling the tongue an oyster...
and limiting its capacity to waggle and utter
a speech... talking: but in sign language)...
(the) infinitive ( more or less a ditto of gerund)...
participle....
now we have something interesting...
an adjective and a noun... is a bit like...
a participle and a verb...
a mad dog... that sat all day and
all night... but mostly the nights...
and guarded the burning scribbling
(b-oing-oing)...
this is most certainly wrong...
the burning scribbles of... an ailing
mind that sat and contemplated a candle
come noon...
grammar... if it was only so much...
how grammar never enters
into philosophy books...
guarded the burning scribbling...
the burning scribble... the yearning scribble of
a burning candle...
i guess a noun can be a name...
but... you try to simplify a verb...
apart from the obvious examples:
eating... scheming, breathing... or out and
about in order to merely: walk...
with that "said":
a noun is a name for - more or less fixed things
in our heads... a crow doesn't, necessarily,
have to croak... or fly... perch on a tree...
a crow among... fixed things...
inanimate objects... a candle a chair a bed...
that the chair cannot croak a crow's croak...
is beside the point: a wooden chair can creak!
which is just as well as a croak...
a verb is therefore almost like a noun...
which it is... but it's a name / noun for "concerns"
of an animate dimension...
a name given to transition periods of...
a beginning and end: and most likely a...
period return and... replica... again, again and again...
perpetuation...
a verb is motion... a noun is stasis...
all in all: it's still a name of a name: for a name...
that something requires naming...
an adverb through: unlike an adnoun (adjective)...
well: a mad dog looks very colourful indeed...
all adnouns are... compared to adverbs...
the accident implied: accidently these words...
not because i planned to write them...
of that: i am very, sure....
the quali-fir...
much ado about... nothing...
is there a need for a cf. with a quanti-fire?
there's the accidently:
in the "middle": "somewhere"...
between... all and some...
none... nein...
- for if i were an english grammar parrot...
if i learned english via the atypical inorganic route...
from a teacher... with grammar being
an inorganic fossil barge...
a heap of bones and mountains' groans...
then i could fence with a philologist...
- but since i, have learned grammar:
thrown into the deep-end... and since i came out
from the english pedagogy system without:
having learned a... centimetre of the worth of dirt
behind my fingernails after an afternoon spent
digging earth in the garden...
of grammar...
it is less a topic of serious inquiry: more...
a triffle... a... curiosity: at best - at best it's a curiosity...
because i will not: parrot grammatical iron maidens
and watch these sentences be:
sentenced to a gramma-tical-zoo!
back to a previous "concern"...
collateral... notably outside of pledge, security etc.
when used...
in that war-lingo of...
'collateral damage'...
something... inevitable or... something more or less:
necessary?
a "happenstance": a gamble?
an oops of how champagne or lysergic acid
were discovered?!
collateral damage: as a pledge
or as... additional / secondary: not wanted?
leftovers, yes?
by collateral damage do the canibus bellum:
the dogs of war... say...
which version of collateral?
and when was the last time two armies
honestly met: in a field...
akin to a chessboard... when was the last time
two armies honestly met:
faced each other:
and by pawn i am right in supposing:
the infantry rather than: civilian...
unless of course... a pawn in chess is either
a civilian or... the infantry...
when was the last time...
two armies - honestly met -
and battled and sowed and reaped -
two crowns: without... collateral?
again: is it a guarantee in a "good" /
it's unavoidable... or in a "bad" / it's necessary...
way...
whaterver this was:
let it just remain as that... an exercise in writing /
chicken scratching.
