        Istn't interesting: no changes of syntax, and what kinds of
morphology are we talking about. Besides, Alviero, try to answer my more
recent post about Mesha instead of my first--later refuted mail. Mesha does
display some linguistiv differences such as the jmn rbn, I referred to, and
the feminimu -t in the absolute.
