I use tables for things like grammatical paradigms. Can't think of any other effective layout. It would be tedious to have something like Gender 1 Clitics Absolutive Singular: Ti Accusative Singular: Tii Nominative Singular: Tika Absolutive Dual: Til etc.

Tables are too much work, IMO, to do by hand. I usually make them on Composer, and then do any necessary editing. -- Lufilnátta piniassál piniazzá ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
