Too bad I won't have much time in the next months from tomorrow on to cooperate.
That's why I posted as much as possible today. Don't wonder anymore on my
mental health. I enjoyed it.

This is my apology to PABLO and CARLOS :
Of course I didn't understand until now what you meant to fix with 'modifiers'
and 'resumptive pronouns' - I'm sooo slow. I wondered why you were so much
eager to have them.
I just got it a few minutes ago !
CARLOS means :
the little boy sings
=
erg-boy mod-littleness pred-sing
(mod = modifier ; pred = predicate)
and PABLO means :
the little boy who pats the cat sings
=
erg-boy erg-res pas-cat pred-pat pred-sing
(res = resumptive pronoun ; pas = patient)
Hey, that's GREAT !
That's the structure I would dream of.
However I could not fix it although I've had everything at hand for days.
Oh well, I really hope the others will follow, that will be a very nice language.
Mathias
