I've just noticed that T&F belong to a different set than V.

Do you never treat verbs as T or F? Do you use any transformation when
a V is a T or a F, pragmatically? Could not find the answer on your

(Also, "TFV" sounds a bit weird to me as a speaker of a natlang with
word order mostly determined by the pragmatic factors.)
