The morphology is still under debate (when we have any time to debate; I'm in school learning surveying) between me and Jorge. Mostly this affects obscure word-like forms such as "adjgja", "mastststststststaka", and "bongnanba", but it also affects a few meaningful words, such as "tarksako", "fasxolarkto", and maybe "soiombo". (This one, which refers to a Mongolian script and symbol and should really be either a cmevla or something followed by "bu", I haven't brought up before.) Pierre
