    "Si (COMO El griego afirma en el Cratilo)
    El nombre es arquetipo de la cosa,
    En las letras de rosa está la rosa
    Y todo el Nilo en la palabra Nilo."

    "If (as the Greek asserts in the Cratilo)
    The noun is the archetype of the thing,
    In the letters of rose we find the rose
    and the whole Nile in the word Nile."
    J. L. Borges

    Try this. Work through the pages, as there's something about different types of phrase, including noun phrases. Hope it helps - I find the whole site very useful.
