Many
languages have changed from a highly inflexional type to one which is
to a considerable extent compounding or monosyllabic, during their Analytical
Stage. This may be due to either simplification or decomposition and not
to development. Therefore, it is to be known, that monosyllabic stage
may be either the earliest or the latest stage of a language, in the history
of its formation and existence.
