On literary forms[edit]
Hello Therahedwig. Thank you for your contributions.
I don't understand the meaning of the sentence "All forms have been found, but currently the precise mechanics behind learning knowledge or receiving a change in values from them is still unclear." Would it be possible to specify what forms having been found, learning of knowledge, and receiving changes in values mean? --Nahno (talk) 09:33, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
