ABSTRACT
The fundamental question about any grammar, aside from that of its adequacy in describing the facts, is the question: why is it constructed in the particular way it is. As stated in the introduction, we will attempt to give a limited answer to this question for the morphological statement just presented by demonstrating that the statements are partially ordered by criteria of simplicity. The necessary ordering of the statements of the morphology is given by the following chart. In this chart, a line drawn from left to right, not crossing horizontal lines, determines a necessary order (left to right) among the elements in the boxes through which it passes. These elements are the numbers of the morphological statements given in the preceding section. Any two elements through which such a line passes have an order defined for them. For each statement, it can be seen at a glance which statement it must precede, and which it must follow.
