teleology

one paper we were discussing in the lab meeting stated ". . . sound change is non-teleological. . ."  

i can associate two types of flutters of images:

-hours, hours, finding in a museum somewhere a shaving knife from Denmark, circa 1688, a fact which you note.  later you are reminded of that shaving knife.

-hours, hours, finally finding in a museum somewhere a shaving knife from Denmark, circa 1688, whose appearance supports your theory.
