There must be some with even more parameters than that, aren't there? But I don't think Lojban or similar loglangs really count in this regard. They try to account for all possible arguments as explicit parameters, whereas most languages just use generic tack-on modifiers that aren't tied to a specific verb. -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
