I'm flattered!!  If only Tokana would settle down a bit.  I'm
doing yet another major overhaul on the Tokana Reference
Grammar, which should be finished by the end of the month
(I work on it for an hour or two every week, and of course
feel guilty every second).  There are lots of new features,
both to the language, and the grammar:  I've begun to get
systematic about verb classes in Tokana (which case forms
are used with which arguments, etc.).  I've added an
antipassive, eliminated reduplication and denominal verbs,
and done a complete overhaul of motion verbs.  I've also
added new sections to the grammar on adverbs.  And then
there's the two new cases (allative and comitative) which
got added to the language last year, but had not yet been
incorporated into the grammar before I began the latest
revisions.  A conlangers work is never done...
