Persuasive. In any case, I know too little Georgian to start fighting. I
merely remember that most our professors in the Univeristy mentioned
Georgian as a good example of ergative lang. Now I see it was a
misunderstanding, or just an obsolete view. Ok. Isn't Basque typically
ergative? I took a half year course of it 14 years ago :) - will it help?

Thaks for the info. I think I need to use Ethnologue more extensively.
