Reading that article, I stall when you say

"Even if they are defined with 1 : or 2 : , the first 2 types of
modifiers should be considered tacit,"

I do not know what you are referring to by the phrase "the first 2
types of modifiers". Do you mean "the first 2 types of adverbs (or
conjunctions)" or are you referring to nounconj and nounconj2? If  the
latter, I think the statement is erroneous. If the former, I'm a bit
dubious about the distinction.

The concept of tacit is slippery enough that it's probably worth
quoting the definition you are using, and describing what it is about
the context  that makes "tacit" a relevant concept whenever we talk
about it.

Anyways, I got stuck there, and I thought you should know.

Thanks,
