Another thing Zamenhof missed
Random language thought.
I'm back on courseware, trying yet again to make the IMS Common Cartridge work. The Canvas and Brightspace e-learning platforms urp up Scorm packages and ALLEGEDLY swallow Common Cartridge. Last fall I tried to set up CC packages, but had to stop because more urgent specific debugs intervened in the systems that we officially support. (Canvas and Brightspace are not official, so you're 'at your own risk'.)
After a long and needed break, I'm coming at CC from a different angle, which seems much more promising.
Yesterday I wrote in the daily worklog:
Now we're getting somewhere!
Today I made another forward step without any new failures, and I wrote:
Now we're getting morewhere!

Comparatives belong in the family of whats and whos and whens and wheres and hows. Morewhere should be between somewhere and everywhere. Lesswhere should be between somewhere and nowhere.
Zamenhof built a fully orthogonal but clumsy system of wheres and whens and whys and whos in Esperanto, but he didn't include the comparatives. Yet another missed opportunity.
