After reading about Jingulu verbs at <
http://eprint.uq.edu.au/archive/00000449/01/rpverbs.pdf>,
I googled for 'jingulu' to see if there was any more information on it
online, and found this very interesting paper discussing vowel harmony in
Jingulu: <

Do any conlangs have a system like this? And what about other langs (nat or
con) with the four genders masculine, feminine, vegetable, and neuter (or
something similar, at least)?
Cheers,
