"Rem tene, verba sequentur" (you hold the matter, then words come) is largely "how it works". You form logical ideas as you speak, as you speak your speech develops, so the translation is from ideas to sentences. It is not clear in which phase one would mentally form a complete sentence, nor why it should be relevant. You "see something [that makes sense]", then you describe it - iteratively.
