     Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise *trace* the English
     invented *trace* 380 years ago, requires physical dexterity --
     some bells weigh more than a ton -- combined with intense mental
     concentration.

<note>
'Create' suggests additional arguments, such as source, benefactive,
and attributive, but these don't seem to occur with 'invent'.  At
least not in wsj.
