<div>I've found a way to differentiate between the low level
utilities and the recommended ones.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The low level utilities use "Latin" order where the verb
component comes after the object and the recommended commands
the other way around.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the recommended commands' syllables' order matches that of
our everyday language while the low level utilities' syllables'
order matches that of a "dead" language.</div>
