Aftes

Hello, could you, please, help me with understanding this sentence? "They also start using "function words"--the somes, woulds, whos, hows and aftes that enable us to ask either "Do you like milk?" or "Would you like some milk?"

What does "aftes" mean?

Thank you

That's got to be a typo. I guess he meant "afters", but I don't know what he's talking about.

HotmaleThat's the second typo in the article ...
There are even more typos in that article, and I only found it in the Daily Beast, quoting Newsweek — not the New York Times.
