Merhaba!
Is it possible to use a 'focus' case where non-benefactives and non-prep.phrases
(datives) are put into, and benefactives are formed some other way? For
example: ''I gave him a gift = I gave a gift to him' - is that reasonably
certainly dative? And what are 'tritransitives'? How can I deal with em? (And
note that there's only one preposition, so does that affect the benefactive's
existence?)
Conlanging is more fun and difficult than I would have ever imagined! :))))))),
