I Can not understand what's the meaning of oklahome in thie article !!! and what is the relationship between oklahome and the adjectives !!! anybody would explain this to me.

Support: It may be a clever idea if anyone knew what it meant. Looks like someones lecture notes- and they are useless without the scribble on the whiteboard. ClemRutter :en:Wikipedia

Oklahoma is not a mnemonic, a mnemonic is when the letters of a word spell out a phrase eg the colours of the rainbow - Richard Of York Gave Battle in Vain - Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.

Oklahoma here is referring to the line drawn, easiest to see in weak declension between the endings -en and -e. I'm not from the US but apprantly it's shaped like the state of Oklahoma. At our school in the UK they just told us to remember where the line was.

I know the memory-aid as the toothbrush, albeit one with a very short handle. At least everyone who speaks English knows what a toothbrush looks like, not that many know what Oklahoma looks like! Is it possible to insert a black line to make the "toothbrush" clear?
