In that case the surface appearance of "4o" as a meaningful unit would just be the result of "and" and an article being stuck to the beginning of words. I guess this ties in to the "gallows mark nouns" hypothesis.
Hi Koen,
Thanks for the post - It's definitely a possibility (who knows! I certainly can't disprove anything
). One obstacle that I foresee may be explaining why "and" (<q>) can only link words that have a definite article (<o>). In many languages, "and" can connect nouns without definite articles also, as well as non-nouns (two verbs, adjectives, adverbs). Maybe Emma knows of a language where "and" is constrained in this way?
