Conlang #13, phase 1

Grammar sketch:

Word order is typically Verb-Subject-Object, and ergative.
Verbs are marked for valency (intransitive or transitive).
However, experience verbs are typically intransitive, with
the experiencer in the absolutive case and the thing experienced
marked with a focus preposition "shpa".

Root words indicate their semantic category by the final
consonant:



This is based on ideas I started developing after thinking about
the way part-of-speech marking works in Esperanto and Konya
(see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/konyalanguage/message/100
for the start of a thread  on the konyalanguage Yahoo group about 
this).

A final vowel is added to mark part of speech, valency (for verbs) and
case (for nouns).  For modifiers and prepositions, no part-of-speech
vowel is needed if the root word is a quality or relationship root
respectively.


There are few conjunctions; most conjunctive notions are expressed
with a preposition + the generic subordinating conjunction "vdA".
