I think we can rescue Keith's spanner. I seem to recall reading that Romance languages that did not evolve accusative markers (i.e., [a] in Spanish) had nominative and oblique cases. If this is true then first generation Brithenig _must_ have had a two case declension system. Once again I find waiting on Ray productive! :) - andrew. -- Andrew Smith, Intheologus hobbit@griffler.co.nz http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/homepage.html Your voice has been heard.
