for_o when_o they_o be_v past_a infant_n and_o begin_v to_o make_v use_n of_o language_n if_o any_o new_a thing_n appear_v they_o will_v not_o desire_v to_o play_v with_o it_o but_o they_o will_v

will_v put_v it_o into_o their_o mouth_n to_o taste_v it_o as_o if_o they_o will_v examine_v thing_n by_o more_o sense_n than_o one_o now_o this_o desire_n to_o know_v be_v bear_v with_o they_o and_o
