Jennifer, for what its worth, it doesn't have an American Indian lg feel to me. Having said that, I will remind you that the Americas have roughly as much diversity in lgs as, oh, let's say Europe, Asia, and Africa combined. Case is rare, although 2 case or caselike systems occur more frequently than most others. Gender is rare (in terms of male/female etc.) but does occur. So, I guess the point is, if you feel that it is Indian lg like, that is probably good enough, it IS your language afterall. -- Brad Coon bradandjen@imt.net listowner battleship-l http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7264/battleship-l.html http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7264 (outdoor and prim.skills) If its tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
