Aren't subject or subject universal terms for any language? After parsing everything, I suppose you can assign the subject or object even if the language doesn't have cases that correspond to themat first. Hence why I used "subject", since I haven't decided on it yet. So like you I don't have the concept of the accusative (object), but I guess I do have a nominative.

Now _that's_ exactly what I meant, unfortunately I swapped something/someone in a typical late night action. ;)
