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
