Nope. Looks really cool :) I'm wondering though if it'd make sense to have suffixed pronouns the way some Semitic languages do (I'm not sure if ancient Hebrew had those or not). Maybe just in certain "tenses": Regular Latin-derived present tense: ammo^ amma^ amm amma^mu^ amma^ti^ amman Hybridized Latin-derived, Hebrew-inspired past tense: amma^veg amma^vtu^ amma^vhac/amma^vha^jic amma^vno^s amma^vjo^s amma^vhi^de^/amma^vhajde^ Well, just an idea. Also it might be kinda cool to borrow hu and hi right from Hebrew, since the Latin forms are pretty similar. (Although I do like ha^jic a lot.) -- Eric Christopherson / *Aiworegs Ghristobhorosyo
