Oops, pardonnez-moi ;-)))).  See also my later post  where I promised to
send some Tsou exs., [today!!] and also asked if others had invented
trigger languages that differed from the Philippine model, and if so, how.
Perhaps after the Tsou exs. appear, you might give us the Itakian

think)

I will hasten to your website to see how much my opinion needs
revising........
