Greenberg (1978): "The opposite order leaves the hearer in the dark till the last item is reached."

Eta gauza da ze Greenberg-ek berak (1978) deskribatu zuén atzerakargaren ideia an zenbakiak. Saiatuko gara gehiago zehazten puntu hori biharkoan. 

Horrá Greenberg-en hitzak deskríbatuz atzerakargaren ideia:

There is evidently a cognitive principle involved in the favoring of the order larger + smaller. If I express a large number, say 10,253 in the order 10,000; 200; 50; 3; the very first element gives me a reasonably close approximation to the final result, and every successive item gives a further approximation. The opposite order leaves the hearer in the dark till the last item is reached. (Greenberg 1978:274)
