The Analytical Language of John Wilkins

To begin, I can’t say that I fully comprehend this piece on The Analytical Language of John Wilkins by Jorge Luis Borges. Reading the article I could only understand bits and pieces of paragraphs, nothing as a whole, no matter how many times I read it.
My understanding of the reading is that language is more confusing and deeper than I am aware of in fact, most of us are aware of. It is a whole other learning experience and seems difficult to decipher, it’s like a code.

I understand to some extent the 40 categories that are subdivided twice i.e. as used in the article:
Category (monosyllable of 2 letters) de which translates to element
Then Category Boken Down to
Difference (consonant) deb translates to fire
Then Broken Down to
Species (vowel) deba translates to flame
However Letellier doesn’t follow the monosyllable of 2 letters, why?

The article seemed to jump around too much making it confusing as if there were 3 or 4 difference writers putting this piece of writing together….it didn’t flow to me, just confused me.
Again, the numbering was a puzzle as well.
Salmon doesn’t tell a man anything if he uses the 40 categories as Zana means nothing to me.
At the end, the Recipes = Confusion
I will have to keep reading until something else clicks. If anyone can give me a lead, please do.
