I don't mean to hijack this conversation, but I feel like my last question (which I asked twice) hasn't been answered by anybody.
It doesn't deal with the question of when/how/why there is sumti raising, but a rather practical note of whether we could/should explicitly state in some document precisely which gismu are recommended to function as things like events, states, objects, etc.
Example:
bajra - may implicitly be 'nu,' may implicitly be 'pu'u'
My question is, is this type of information useful and valid? If so, can it be curated, and would anybody like to help? I started a spreadsheet with wiki editting privileges (no login necessary).
