As for the other points, it's obvious Jordan's "Old Tongue" is a pile of crap, linguistically speaking. He would have been better not trying to write "in" it if he can't be like Tolkien. But he so desperately wanted to be like Tolkien.
We've seen so little of the old tongue (and none of the common tongue the characters actually speak) how can you tell if it hangs together grammatically or not?
And how doesn't the history not make sense? I'm certified to teach history, so I'd like to know what you mean by this.
