After several attempts at different conlang ideas, I finally have one that seems to be going somewhere (so far: I haven't done anything with nouns yet). It's not going to be one of the better ones, though, because I had to back off from trying to build in historical depth.

Although both subject and object pronominals are clitic pronouns, the object pronouns fuse to the verb in some situations (specifically non-present non-aoristic forms), so that it's almost like the verb agrees with the object when one is present but not the subject. However, the object pronoun is omitted when a noun phrase is present, unlike the subject, which just uses a different pronoun in that case.

Another thing I've done is make the aoristic and the progressive the same (or almost the same) except for accent placement, a feature borrowed from 'Yemls.

Finally (for now) the same 2 roots are used for epistemic, deontic, and potential modals depending on where they go.
