Dealing with an idea deficit...

I don't know how I'm going to get my hands on a Braille copy of _Describing
Morphosyntax_, unfortunately, but maybe you guys could help?

I've been toying with a conlang derived from English for a little while. I
posted about it in the "Orthography help" thread. I've decided I'll make it
OSV or something and ergative (maybe even split!), as well as have
evidentials. It will be isolating (one more conlang to add to the apparently
short list of such conlangs) and use alot of compounding to build new words.

But now I'm stuck... I'm looking for suggestions to "jazz it up", as Roger
said... What are some interesting categories I could include wrt verbs,
e.g.?
Thanks,
Trebor
