A problem of ellipsing things is that you don't see them. (... "Out of sight, out of mind."...)
A compound word is just a phrase, it's just not completely compressed into a new form of word which represents it.
Before you can make something better you have to have something to make better.
I think a word can develop multiple senses because the differences between the senses can be so small that it's just plain annoying to create a new word.
Don't compare yourself with others nor worry about the comparisons made by others.
Proceed within your framework. You cannot complete a structure if you are continually tearing it down.
Before you can make things "better" you have to know how to make them in the first place.
You only have to say enough but have within your arsenal all the tools needed to say enough.
One verb's adverb may be another verb's complement/arguement. (This should be true if for example... a location becomes necessary to define a verb and so becomes a complement/arguement whereas for many other verbs location is not needed so if it is used, within that sentence it is functioning as an adverb. I'd probably call this type of adverb... [narrowers of verbs] and have "real/natural" adverbs which may be properties of verbs. The word "fast" would seem to fit this category. I also think that there is "real/natural" adjectives which colours, for example, would fall into. So I don't think nouns can actually be turned into adjectives, what they're actually turned into is [narrowers of nouns...or prepositions...])
Every feature of every language- can't be present in one damn language! At least I'm pretty sure they can't. So stick with what you got and don't worry about what you don't got.
I think that to define verbs one has to make statements, so I think this is why verbs are the nucleus of statements.
