What you're doing looks like it might be helpful to me (a couple of my languages don't distinguish parts of speech also, except for differences in argument structure and which tense/aspect is unmarked). I also like to work out the semantic underpinnings early on. It's encouraging to see someone else refer to sets of entities. The small closed class of operators reminds me of Sylvia's Kele'n, while the binary structure seems a bit like Henrik's Tyl-Sjok. I'd like to see more. Jeff Jones
