The simplification or streamlining is not related to medical technical terms, but to grammar, spelling and phonations. the word 'scuds' (missile) became commonplace only recently, with the Iraq war. But the older the language, the more complex, which contradicts the notion language started with grunts and coos. The hebrew OT is a complex work, representing the epitomy of grammar, taking the shortest route wordage, and this can require a math-like deciphering process, overturning past translations after deliberation. There is no past writing thread exemplying such literature, making it a msytery how it emerged.
I find it strange that one can assert that the English language, which currently contains over one million words and which is easily at least four times as much as the nearest contender, is somehow more 'primitive' than any other, either now or in the past.
As for epitomizing grammar (or being the most complex in not), exemplifying literature, or providing more concise definitions of concepts than other languages, let history, or for that matter the present, be the judge.
