Neat. Have you looked at other ideographic conlangs, such as Harpelan and Pinuyo? http://www.ewoudnet.nl/ruittenb/pinuyo/ http://www.geocities.com/noktakanto/index.html

OK, so if subject always corresponds to agent and direct object always corresponds to patient and indirect object always corresponds to recipient, you don't need voice. But how do you mark non-agent experiencers and topics? As subject or direct object, or with another case? -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry/gzb/gzb.htm ...Mind the gmail Reply-to: field
