Isn't this simply a kind of semantic case marking system
(as opposed to syntactic marking systems), as described in the book "Ergativity"
by Dixon? I believe Matt Pearson's Tokana has a similar system.

Old html-version here: http://mpearson.narod.ru/tok.toc.html
New zip-file here: http://www.wolframite.net/content.html

See especially the section "Argument structure and case
marking".

ObMyOwnConlang: The first versions of my Rinya worked approximately the same as Tokana.

Or am I missing something?
