(no subject)
2007-Jan-31, Wednesday 16:38* I went to a WRAP meeting today at VOAF. It wasn't too bad.
* I added impersonal verbs, such as "to rain", to NYSEC -- another thing that had been missing. Impersonal verbs lack subjects, but may have other arguments. For those interested, they take 3rd person singular absolutive agreement. Certain personal verbs, such as "to be hot", can be made impersonal using a prefix.
I've gotten a suggestion to call the relative tense mood "conjunctive", if I use that method. Actually, I've seen four suggestions (the others were "relative", which is what I've been calling it, "consecutive", and "medial"), but that was the best. Now, though, I'm considering calling "cotemporal".
I think most of the other things missing from NYSEC are just vocabulary.
