...it is an accident that it is the two morphemes do and so, in that order, which show up when a verb phrase is pronominalized.

The tendency would do something to structure the minds of the users of the language, perhaps instilling a tendency to respect objective reality, for example, which some competent students believe to be characteristic of many Amerindian tongues.
