Now, now, patience! I don't think anyone wants daily updates
on how _uktëk cnuldzuńëħ kète_ ["}kt@k "tsn}ldZ}_nj@h keT_je]
means "The officer threw the man" or the like (as you can see,
I'm a bit short of vocabulary at the moment... not that *that's*
ever likely to be resolved). To say a bit more, ML4 is shaping up
to be a trigger language, with ergative knobs on. Vowel harmony.
Palatized/Nonpalatalised consonant series. Initial mutations.
Polish/Hungarian orthography. Russian/Irish phonetics. Congealing
very, very slowly. The phonetics have been in production about 8
months :)

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, how-
ever measured or far away.                        --  Henry David Thoreau
