That includes me, right? Errrm, I still don't understand it. When you describe -3I, -3D etc. in the third section, I'm lost. What are those? What does 'A3 takes' mean in this example (I understand that it is morphologically extended by an affix, but why?). I also don't understand the 3rd person actants. Unfortunately, I could not find hints in the examples, either, because although they are morphologically broken down, the explanation why the corresponding affixes are used is missing. It would be very helpful to have an example for every new tag you introduce, starting from the section 'Trivalent Words'. Please have a sentence for -3I there, explain it, then have one for -3D, explain it, etc. The information is too dense for me to follow. **Henrik
