The form of the 3rd person wordt for example reflects the structure of the stem morpheme word + the suffix of the 3rd person t. G. phonological basis will undoubtedly want to maintain the existing system. The current spelling of certain compound forms of nouns also reflects the deeper structure. Thus the compound of dorp + straat is written dorpsstraat (with double-s, although only one is pronounced) because its structure can be shown to be dorp + s + straat. G. phonology will have no difficulty in determining these and similar spellings.
G. telefoon and telephoon, jilantroop and philanthroop, ritme and rhythme etc. These modified spellings consituted only a very small minority. In the word-list of 1954 more than one spelling was recognized for many loan-words; a "foreign" next to a more Dutch. In doing this the Commission wanted to permit a greater degree of freedom 38 B. C. Damsteegt in order to allow for the development of the spelling of these words, though it did indicate its preference for one of the possible forms - in some instances there were three, four or more variations.
It is this factor that determines the degree of "predictability" inherent in a spelling system. I am here alluding to the extent to which the spelling system enables the user of the language accurately to predict spelling of a word that he hears but has never seen written; and conversely the extent to which the spelling image enables the reader to decide without error on the pronunciation of a word which he has read, but has never heard spoken. Though the latter affects readability more than learning, I shall consider both aspects since they are inseparably linked.
