Implications presumably intended as mutual: “mutually conducive traits”.For a tabular summary of Skalicka’s typological “constructs” see Plank 1998: 204-205.Presumably the claim is about average length of inflectional affixes. Alternatively, it could be read as being about affixes of corresponding categories: e.g., dative plural, if cumulated, is shorter than dative plus plural, if not cumulated. Or even, … than dative on its own and plural on its own, if not cumulated.
