Oh, no problem. I was worried there for a second if anyone had read the
email, or skipped it (i know, just because you don't get an answer doesn't
mean people didn't read it ;) ). I guess I must have been clear enough to
not need further clarification.
Anyway, until I read that description of how trigger systems worked, I
wasn't too sure myself. But, it's amazing to me how they do work, and how
speakers know when to use which affix for the tirgger. I always thought
that the trigger system was one of the more fascinating systems for verbs,
since it's so exotic to me being an English speaking monoglot :). When
you feel ready to post the system for Itakian, by all means, be my guest.
