I would need an example of what you describe here, Jake, before I could comment.
What do you mean by conjugating verbs by their objects, and leaving the objects
implied? Do you mean conjugating verbs by their objects and leaving the
subjects implied?
        "She loved the cat."  How would you do that?

  Subject: conjugating by object


 In an earlier version of my new conlang G'oxayo (which I plan to post soon,
when I work it out more), I was considering conjugating verbs by their objects,
and leave the object implied unless necessary. Has anyone considered something
similar to this in their conlangs? (Incidentally, just to peak everyone's
interest in G'oxayo, the language is built so each "sentence" is pronounced as
one very agglutinating "word" and even most pronouns are derived from others.)
