That reminds me, I have another draft blog I need to finish (I have 41 blogs that are about 80% written and that's not counting the plant blogs I took offline years ago that I need to re-upload). It describes a couple of particularly interesting word-clusters in the big-plants section that are very relevant to the discussion of shifts and clusters.
Aside: Sigh... I've discovered that blogging is similar to programming in one way... When you think you are 80% done, you discover that the last 20% consists of all the things that could not be done readily, or for which you have to look things up that are difficult to find (or to re-find), or you are waiting on someone else (who isn't coming through), or for which there is SOME kind of snafu that is difficult to resolve... and thus the last 20% always turns out to be the hardest 80%. Programmers and climbers know what I mean when I call it a "false summit".
