Well, I happen to be currently trying to describe Maggel using Heather's
questions, and indeed to most questions I can answer: "Yes, no, it depends, and
it's irregular anyway", all at the same time ;)))) . So I guess it does fit
this description :))) .
I already took an hour on it and I only at the questions about the nouns, so it
gives you an idea of how difficult it is to fit Maggel in all those categories
(not that it cannot fit in, Maggel's structure is still reminiscent of IE
languages and made so, in order to make its strangeness contrast with
seemingly "common" features, but within those categories its behaviour is
erratic). I'm doing right now the equivalent of fitting a square rod into a
round hole using a hammer ;))) .
