Re: topic



Also, I think we can rule that Ceqli can have SVIO, where I is 
indirect object.  True, indirect objects can be expressed other 
ways:

Go ko zi don hon.  I give to you a book.

But in keeping with the notion that Ceqli should have the option 
of being ultra-terse, and incidentally imitating the English 
system, I'm wondering if 

go don zi hon. 

wouldn't be allowable.

If so, I think that we could also allow

don zi hon, go.   
hon, go don zi.

but probably not

zi hon, go don.

Or maybe I'm trying too hard.  Comments?
