One of the similarities is the use of optatives/subjunctives to form
conditionals. Another one is bac's verbs being always intransitive --
although Ebisedian doesn't officially have that, I did toy with that idea
for a while (attaching verbs to nouns in a sentence, where each verb
describes the effect of an event on that particular noun, usually being
different for different nouns in the sentence).
