About 'W'; is the script constructed or an existing natural script? I'm guessing a constructed script, so this would be 'Wcs'. You also have 'Sbso.'; does this mean that there are no verbs, but that whatever takes their place is final in the clause? ---> The script is constructed (not even finished!). Sbso. meant that subject always precedes object, the place of the verb is not restricted to one place. At one time, I even thought of a system where the place of the verb indicated the tense (VSO=futue, SOV=past etc.) Rob
