Interesting mix of locatives (near, far), epistemic evidentials (appare=
nt,
obscure) and epistemic judgementals (probable/believed,
improbable/disbelieved) this list!  Are these all associated with the s=
ame
word class?  nouns?  verbs?  I ask because while locatives are generall=
y
associated with nominals or adverbials, evidentials and judgementals ar=
e
typically modal predicate modifiers.  Could you elaborate on their usag=

here?

Ooops, I appear to have forgotten to address this point.  Once again, h=

I'm heading into "terror incognita" <G> when I start putting things int=

"technical terms".  I'm working on retransing the Magical Tree poem/sto=
ry right
now, which should illustrate the majority of the wierdnesses.  It is ac=
tually a
narrative that the Wewnetaar could probably relate to and appreciate qu=
ite well.
I may take a while to do it satisfactorily, however, as by the sounds o=
f it,
"the torch" is heading me-wards at an alarming rate, so that "warming u=

and doing that may end up taking priority.
