Well I figured the subject and object would be able to
be stative phrases. In literal english, for the
moment, I thought it would read like this.
man is big was happy the book is little to the woman
gave.
The big happy man gave the little book to the woman.
I was planning to have case markings be prefixes and
the nouns of the above phrase would be marked
according to thier case, which I figured would make
parsing the sentence easier.
Of course using alot of these stative verbs in a chain
would really be restricted to the introduction of a
new entity in conversation, so that that entity could
be fully described by the speaker.
