Many natlangs, especially in the Americas. I think all Uto-Aztecan languages have it, at least, I can't think of an example without it off the top of my head. Oddly enough, I once supposed that Tupian might be related to UA (OK, I was young and foolish!) I think Dirk Elzinga's Tepa has it but I haven't looked at his for a while. My faux Amerind lg will have it if I ever find more time to work on it. -- Brad Coon hawksinger@fwi.com http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/everquest/624 (Conlang pgs.) http://www.ipfw.indiana.edu/east1/coon/web/index.htm (home pg. et al.) http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7264 (outdoor and prim.skills) http://members.tripod.com/~Hawksinger (wine and whisky pgs) Civilize the mind and make savage the body.
