8. A further difficulty is that the distribution of surviving occurrences is so uneven. That mod is collocated with more verbs than sefa or ferP is partly the result of its higher frequency in the corpus and its availability for prose as well as poetry. The semantic restrictions of sefa and ferP which emerge from Phillips's method of analysis may be more apparent than real, as he admits himself: Phillips 45.
