As for me, to hear about "forms", is hajimete :) Anyway, "stem", or conjugational pattern, is a very convenient system. > Anyway, thank you for your input on Hebrew, which I haven't taken up > yet. Seems I would enjoy learning Hebrew grammar very much :-) Well, since Newgaritic is going to be closer to Hebrew grammatically, you'll hear more about Hebrew grammar here. ObConlang: I have not yet decided on verb system in my project. I'm still gathering facts about nouns, and getting through possible phonology. Maybe, the lang will be written with Ethiopic syllabary.

I don't need scientificly accurate reconstructions. Just a touch of naturalism, esp. since Ugaritic (used as a starting point in my conlang design) and Classical Arabic phonology seems pretty close.
