The scaffolding

The words without which no sentence stands.

Was diese Listen zusammenhält

These lists belong to no area, which is to say they belong to all of them. A pronoun, a preposition, a number, a verb of movement, a word for "roughly" — they turn up in every conversation recorded anywhere else on this site, which is why every single word here repays the effort most. Anyone wondering where to start starts here: it is the one category whose words are needed even by somebody who wants to talk about none of the rest.
