So "he" is the subject of "went-to" and "store" is the subject of "was-arrived-at"? Pretty spiffy. =) Though "He went-to, store was-arrived-at" would be a bit more analysable to us poor IE-biased minds. ;-) I was imagining something along the lines of "He to-the-store-went"; basically, that you could construct verbs to contain all of the complement information. -- Christian Thalmann -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
