Hi, Tom. Your response is very helpful. (2) I didn't want to describe "mother" or "hand" as transitive. (3) H is Head, D is Dependent, and U is Unspecified. (4) I googled but I'm still not clear on what semitransitive is. (5) Valence is what's important. I can see though that I need to add a list of the different word classes indicating what role goes with what argument.
