Verbal omission
"The cervical and lumbar curves are compensatory or secondary, and are developed after birth, the former when the child is able to hold up its head (at three or four months) and to sit upright (at nine months), the latter at twelve or eighteen months, when the child begins to walk.
The omitted words between former and when and between latter and at are "is developed", aren't they? If so, does this sort of verbal omission often occur?
