>"obviative" suffix. You can then have pronouns (or verb endings) that indicate >whether the antecedent (or subject) was proximate or obviative.Hm... looks like some kind of backwards-counting concept. The proximate pronoun would then be used for the last antecedent and the obviative for the last but one antecedent? Or is it a spatial near vs. far distinction? Harald
