Re: Third report on Koni - some grammar

Hey, that's Asha'ille's verb form!  But the |-v| stays in all forms of the
verb, whereas Jessica drops it off during conjugation, like Spanish (and
Romance languages in general? I've only studied Spanish, so I don't know
about the rest).

What's the basic word order?  The first sentence above is VSO, the second
OVS (if incorporated/conjugated subjects count for word order -- and what's
the difference between pronoun-incorporation and conjugation?).

>Comments? Bashings? Some angry mob-related activities? ;)
Is this an a priori or posteriori?  Is there an associated conculture?  How
does syllable stress work?  How long has she been working on Koni?  Why
hasn't she joined the list herself yet?  :)
