congrammar update

Hi, all.
i'm currently experimenting with tunu some topical stuff that i couldn't
successfully design till now. it's a mix of japanese/french topical and
indonesian posessif -nya tricks.

i also use topical construction to avoid the verbal
passive form like in colloquial french "l'anglais on l'apprend à l'école"
instead of formal "l'anglais est appris/enseigné à l'école".

apart from that, tunu remains all SVO, noun-adjective and head-tail.
full updated grammar available at

(please pardon my conlangers' list which is really out of date.
i plan to browse conlangers' new pages, delve into their gems and update
my list in the 2nd week of august.)

examples of new tunu syntax :

TOP : topic
S : subject
O : object
SUB : start of subclause to noun ("who", "that", "which")
POS : possessive "its", "his", "her" etc.
RES : resumptive ("the latter")
