Yes. I will

Actually I'm not, except when it comes to cases in all-noun-rooting predicative
structure because I've been studying that matter for almost 7 years in a lot of
different languages : this was the first time (and perhaps the last time) I
could discuss that subject with conlangers. You'll see that I'm not very
helpful for other matters :-(
