Examples
After some ten years of development, which Zamenhof spent translating literature into Esperanto as well as writing original prose and verse, the first book of Esperanto grammar was published in Warsaw on the 26th of July 1887.
Among the many works of Zamenhof translated into Esperanto is the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament.
At this congress, Zamenhof officially resigned his leadership of the Esperanto movement, as he did not want personal prejudice against himself (or anti-Semitism ) to hinder the progress of the language.
Also, hundreds of city streets, parks, and bridges worldwide have been named after Zamenhof.
Frequently mentioned is Esperanto's agglutinative morphology based on invariant morphemes, and the subsequent lack of ablaut (internal inflection of its roots ), which Zamenhof himself thought would prove alien to non-Indo-European language speakers.
However, Zamenhof was too young then to publish his work.
