How interesting - tell me more about these inflections!  I'd love to
see how that system works in practice.

Yes, I found I had to do that too.  Do you have any online material on
draqa - or some you could send me?  I'd be fascinated to see it.  I
don't have as insatiable an appetite for OPCs (other people's
conlangs) as Christophe :)), but it's not often you come across
another single-open-class language.
