Several of the investigations involved word-transformations, or, a word that was slightly altered, then that word was slightly altered, and so on until a new word existed and the word from which it originated was no longer in use. This is perhaps a sliver of the history of our current words and their entomologies and how language can change within the course of a small family history. Also, almost everyone had phrases that were unique to their family and foreign to those outside the family. Language can be very private and exclusive (or inclusive) in many instances, without meaning to.
