“Indicated in small measure, the cause of the catastrophe, expanding in various ways, is the germ.
When the secondary purpose is interrupted, the drop is the cause of non-interruption.
A subsidiary story that is extensive would be an episode.
Non-extensive is the episodic incident; the catastrophe is what brings about the realization of the fruit.”
Such is the compendium of definitions.
