【C8】______ these Eskimo words are far more highly inflected than 【C9】______ of any of the well-known European languages, for a【C10】______noun can be spoken or written in【C11】______hundred different forms, each【C12】______a precise meaning different from【C13】______of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more【C14】______. The Eskimo language is,【C15】______one of the most difficult in the world to learn,【C16】______the result that almost no traders or explorers have【C17】______tried to learn it.【C18】______, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon【C19】______to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words.
