Do you think countries change from being francophilic to germanophilic at random?

I don't know if they do, except I guess in the conworld we're all developing one word of. I mainly said that because an entire paragraph isn't usually seen here explaining an orthography change. I also almost said "Ok was?" (German for "Ok what?"), and I did say "what" with a pre-"v"-ized "w".

Words organize themselves into trochees (except for the possibility of single unaccented initial syllables and final accented syllables) and accented syllables are lengthened.

German grow out of their new fancy creation fad faster than poland so cat/dog/parrot/weasel hybrids become known as an alternate version of cats pretty quickly so they adopt an old word referring to cats to refer to the pets. It's also the current year so every word is mandated to begin with the current feminine article which has undergone heavy change over the past 600 years. Also the orthography is germanized according to current german phonology.
