A Whorfian cryptotype.
Thanks, I accept. What is a Whorfian cryptotype?
Whorfian from the American linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf. He coined the term to describe constructions like "spotted black and white dog." The order of the words "spotted black and white" cannot be changed, but the reason is buried in mysterious "categories" that are "hidden": Whorf called them "covert categories."
