Cool, how'd you solve it? Also, those aren't the only case-roles in existence, a number of verbs have idiomatic assignments. For instance, lasta' (to prophecy) uses circumlocative for what is being prophesied, as in "He prophesied the end of the world", end would be in circumlocative (normally for "near"), "he" being in absolutive (and most likely not actually stated as a word, just by agreement) --=20 Yaw=EDntasva natab=ED, plan saf=ED nlak=FAsi http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Conlang/W.html http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ #: 18656696 AIM screen-name: NikTailor
