<< I originally described Eklektu as having basically two parts of speech. B=
ut
it turns out that the "verb-like" or "noun-like" roots require a definition
of their "place structure" (for lack of a better term) to fully specify
their usage, and the "particles" can be divided into a number of distinct
categories related to their use in Eklektu syntax (verb markers, noun
markers, case markers, etc.) >>
Could you develop why you keep cases in a 2-PoS structure ? It's interesting=20
because until now I thought conlangers would try to reduct to 2 PoS to get=20
rid of the verb+case+noun structure and switch to "ceneme"+"plereme"=20
structure . OK, I always use an "active/passive_ceneme"+"plereme" structure=20
but still I don't consider the active and passive forms of cenemes are cases=
.=20
And the reference to other arguments, clauses and predicates that may be=20
added are only "pro-PoS" I guess.=20
