More thoughts about cats

I think I've worked out some of the basics of
cat grammar, but I'm not sure how it relates back
to the vocabulary. Hope this is useful to the
effort.

Two concepts are implicit in all cat sentences
and can therefore be omitted. These concepts are:
  (1) Food
  (2) Centre of Universe

Verbs are:
  (1) recognise_this_as (or just 'this')
  (2) want
  (3) negative of want

Therefore words can be constructed according to
the pattern in the following examples.

"Human"
       = F.C.this.provider_of_for
"I want to go inside"
       = F.C.want.vicinity_of
"I want sex"
       = F.C.want.almost_as_good_as_for
"I want an ear scratch"
       = F.C.want.acceptable_in_absence_of_for
"This cat's gotta go!"
       = F.C.negwant.competitor_for_with
"Irritant"
       = F.C.this.rather_have_than

P.S. My damn conlang keeps mutating on me! Just
this evening the letter 'j' mysteriously vanished
from my alphabet; I didn't ask it to - I was
innocently translating the names of the books of
the Bible into my phonology and suddenly 'j' was
gone! Wierd. And now I've got a vague idea that
there needs to be another rule to prevent awkward
sequences of fricatives, but I'm not sure what it
is yet. (One thing I _will_ do is, over Easter,
make my notes downloadable from the web.)

Adrian.
