It fails the explain/maintain test, and I think more pedestrian, less "elegant" solutions to the issue will arise. --K P.S. I liked your explanation of the etymology of the Ceqli word for 'if' in the latest vocabulary (which I don't have in front of me): "It means 'if', believe it or not." That's fine. You're not trying to convince anyone of the rightness of the derivation, you're just saying that that's the way it is. The fact that you have derived it logically is secondary in the mind of someone learning the language, I believe.
