So Itakian is really basically the same, since it replaces copular sentences by nominal sentences :)) . I like the idea, because it makes nominal sentences nearly half of the sentences of a normal utterance (or even more, if we think that in many cases the verb has to appear in nominal form, in a sentence which, though translated as verbal, is syntactically nominal :)) ). And when I think that all this began because I wanted the negation to be a preposition... :))) Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
