Re: Thylean, continued

 In fact, it means that the tenses in subclauses (whether they are indicative
or
 subjunctive) are defined only relatively to the tenses in principal clauses,
so
 that the present in a subclause really means: simultaneity with the principal
 clause action, the past: anteriority to the principal clause action, the
future:
 posteriority to the principal clause action.


This sounds like the Classical Latin system of tenses in
subclauses. When I first learned of these "relative tenses"
I thought they were very interesting. Nice idea you had
to keep them!
