This is just a quick note to let you know I *do* have something, but I
don't have the time just yet to type it in. It was the last major chunk
I was developing for Old Arvandran, and so it's not organized or typed
up for my web page yet either.

At it's simplest, my scheme depends on nominalization. If the thing to
be embedded is already a noun phrase, the transformation is simple. If
something else is to be embedded, it must be nominalized first.

Hope this weekend to have time to type up some more detail.
