Re: jawjeaca



Okay, on further reading of the Ladekwa-English dictionary, I can now see that the "-ca" activity classifier is always AP-s by default. Obviously that is not the most useful case structure for every verb thus created, but at least it now makes sense.

Hi all,
 
The Ladekwa-English dictionary currently has jawjeaca as an AP-s verb. How can something actually translate itself, as this default value implies--and, even more strangely, how can it be a static, rather than a dynamic verb??
 
I'm concerned that the default case structure doesn't seem particularly useful.
