Re: Conlang Random Thread
The only thing I would criticize about your table there is that I'd call what you call 'intransitive' 'direct' instead. It's the Official(tm) terminology for the S case in tripartite alignment, and Ergative for the A and Accusative for the P/O. Thing is, you don't have tripartite alignment. I'm not...

Re: A scratchpad
Modals: Well, this language does not have conventional modals in the way that IE languages tend to. Rather, it has verbs that take a subordinate clause as an argument which it qualifies. Here are some such verbs: want (trans.), sii need (trans.), mag would (intr.), yaa is able to be (intr.), mad is ...

Re: bradrn’s scratchpad
Why the term Adnominal rather than Determiner for that particular series? Just curious ‘Determiner‘ in IE grammar generally refers to a syntactic slot which can be filled by a whole range of different items: articles, demonstratives, possessives, quantifiers, etc. Eŋes doesn’t have any single slot ...

Forget about ga there - ga is intransitive (I was half-asleep when writing that, hence my many typos in my original post).

Re: Conlang Random Thread
Of course, I use ergative and accusative in non-standard fashions to refer to marked arguments of intransitive verbs in a fluid-S arrangement along with antipassive and passive verbs, where agentive S is direct for animates and ergative for inanimates and patientive S is accusative for animates and...

Re: Pronunciation of Standard English in America (1919)
. (I also have a tenuous unstressed /u/ in some unstressed C_V such as in mutual that in careful speech is pronounced as a full vowel but readily becomes [w] in everyday speech.) That's not unusual in words with -ual ; in fact, some speakers can have no /w/ at all, making -ual and -ial homophones. ...
