Re: nom/accu pronouns erg/abs everything else

Oh, I forgot to quote the material I was quoting:
<<
According to Dixon[1], there's an general "animacy"-based heirarchy
of nominals, with those more likely to be spoken of as agents being
more "animate" (and higher in the heirarchy) than those less likely
to be spoken of as agents, as follows:

1st Person Pronouns
2nd Person Pronouns
Demonstratives and 3rd Person Pronouns equally likely
Proper Nouns
Human Common Nouns
Animate Common Nouns
Inanimate Common Nouns
