Does anyone else have a language that uses adjective-verb compounding? In Khangaþyagon, when an adjective is used as a predicate, it compounds with the verb. Eg, "A wicked man" is "rik ukhrin", but "The man was wicked" is "ukhrindahing rik", not *"dahing rik ukhrin", in which ukhrin would be an attribute of rik. It's partially inspired by adjective tenses in Japanese. Pete
