Over the years many true improvements have been made. Humble and constructive suggestions for improvement continue to be welcome. Most proposed revisions, however, are simply incorrect, and evince a lack of understanding of basic principles of translation. Others, while offering some advantages, in fact, introduce new problems, ones that outweigh their advantages and reveal their overall impracticality. The question of grammatical form as it relates to the issue of essential word meaning should also be mentioned.
Part of speech has no bearing whatever on the question of word meaning.
If a term only appears definitively as, for example, a verb or an adjective, we can be just as certain nonetheless of its significance as an adverb or noun as we would be were we to have an adverbial or nounal definitive usage of it as well. Part of speech is determined by usage. Due to their nature, and subordinate functions, a consideration of pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections is not relevant to our question concerning the essential meaning of grammatical derivatives. We are, however, interested in the significance of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Regardless of usage or part of speech, the essential idea of all of the forms remains the same in all cases.
