Leaders, 5/22/2008, TAMM-Marlin Leaders.doc.” （时态-局面-语气 TAM）所说的行动 “空间的接地”。因为它给了相对方向的信息，而不是只有位置的信息。Marlin Leaders 叫 'between, among, in the midst of 中间' 这些字为 "neutronym"。Compare 另见dexbborellelegiedaeggaxrneggaxrsijiasikukurzzarlamaelavulmaelemaelleilnalbbornalzzarolleleolniuxniuxolniuxniuxteixlsibborvaelbborvaelleixr-yoleixrvulleilwoxrkexilmeiryozalbbaerzalbborzalzzarzilbborzilelezile zzirzzarzzarvaelvæ⁵⁵
