It's not really a split-S system, since that kind of system
only applies to intransitive sentences and the transitive
ones work as usual. Your system looks a bit like a combo of
a split system and a semantic marking system. If I were you,
I'd check out "Ergativity" by Dixon. There's a lot of things
similar to your system described in the beginning of that book.
