Re: Screeve question

Thank you both for the information! I'm still planning to blend tense and
aspect into some kind of prefix system for Tolborese verbs and a 'temporal
particle' system for Omurax. But I don't think I'll follow the Georgian
screeve system that closely, for a couple of reasons: These languages won't
have a seperate form for the subjunctive (Lidric, though, will have a
subjunctive for each tense) Also, some screeves change the case of the
subject and object of a verb, but no such thing happens in either of these
two languages.
  It's going to be influenced by Georgian, but not to the degree I thought
at first. I'll get a tentative system worked out and post it here so you
can see if it's realistic at all.
