Not lazy, just learning (among other things, learning to be more
observant).
<p><i>Airanasin, Jonathana!</i> I checked out your Vihal page, and took the
opportunity to examine Tigerian more thoroughly as well. I found the
stress system for Tigerian (based on the "most important" vowel) quite
interesting; there are Earthly languages that likewise assign importance,
moods, or other features to specific sounds or written letters (for
instance, in Old Church Slavonic writing, consonants were considered male
and vowels female).
<p>Have you decided how Vihal will handle constructions with multiple verbs
such as "to want to", "to need to", "to be able to"? It looks as though
the auxilary verb might be the one to come at the end and be "conjugated"
as a subject: <i>asil anahaldi ma-buldi-na</i>, "I wanted to take the
cat"; <i>animi dimaldi-adal</i>, "the man needs to go." Is this right?
<p>Ad onlelán (hope it came out this time!),
