Need Advice on Syntax & Case System

From:Christian Thalmann <cinga@...>

1) Cases

I have gone another step away from the IE commonplaces, and replaced
the classical Nominative-Accusative-Oblique system of Obrenje with
something entirely new.

It doesn't fit any of the existing case systems that I know of.  I
have named my cases Nominative, Predicative and Objective.


Question:

- Do you find the description of the cases and their uses
  comprehensible and/or intuitive?

- Can you think of situations where this case system would fail or
  produce problems?

- Do you have a better suggestion for naming these cases?

2) Syntax

The new case system has led me to re-write my syntax page to include
pronouns.  Syntax is one of the most obscure branches of linguistics
to me, so I would appreciate the opinions of more seasons linguists
on this list.  =P


Questions:

- Do you find the description of the syntax comprehensible and/or
  intuitive?

- Can you think of situations where this syntax system would fail
  or produce chaos?
