Alex, Larry - many thanks. I've received the file. Now I have no excuse not to
get to work.
I've already started with some sentences of my own (now up on the website),
which I try to use to explain why Wakat is missing basic things like, um, a
copula and, oops, the verb 'to have'. Oh, and why Wakat speakers have such
extraordinarily long names.
