The usual notation has 3 symbols, some of which are the same. So imagine that North East England was actually called East England North. In order to figure out what the first function of the type is (the area of England, in this case), you need to look at the first and then the last words. I just find this process annoying and counter-intuitive. But now, let's abbreviate East England North as EEN. To someone foreign to the country, the abbreviation EEN for "East England North" sounds silly, and they would normally expect it, instead, to stand for "England East North," except if England was an adjective, just like "extroverted" is an adjective.
