Re: Help: Zhyler ECM/Raising Verbs (Longish)

These Noun Classes reminded me somehow of Borges'
classification for animals:

(my own mediocre translation)

Animals can be classified as follows:
- belonging to the Emperor
- embalmed ones
- domesticated ones
- sucking pigs
- mermaids
- fabulous ones
- rambling dogs
- included in the present classification
- frantically agitated ones
- innumerable ones
- drawn with a very thin camel-hair brush
- having just broken the jug
- seeming like flies from far away
- others...
