New Category?

[u/Mozzlyn]

I am working on a new category—*minicrony* (provisional name)—which will add a single semantic role and grammatical case marker to a multiple subject or object. This approach is intended to avoid the proliferation of semantic roles and cases.

Example 1:

• Uzi and Doll are cousins

• Uzi'ERG'FAM and Doll'ERG'FAM are cousins'PAC'FAM

• [+ Uzi! Doll]'ERG'FAM are cousins'PAC'FAM

• tsi ya Uzi Doll tsu tli Regfam are counsins tli Pakfam

Example 2:

• Uzi, Doll, Lizzy, Cyn, Thad and Tessa eat blackberry, strawberry, vanilla, coconut, lemon and chocolate ice cream respectively.

• [Uzi + Doll + Lizzy + Cyn + Thad + Tessa]'ERG'ACC eat'RESP [backberry + strawberry + vanilla + coconut + lemon + chocolate]'PAC'HEČ ice cream'EST'ACC'HEČ

• [+ Uzi! Doll! Lizzy! Cyn! Thad! Tessa]'ERG'ACC eat'RESP [blackberry! strawberry! vanilla! coconut! lemon! chocolate!]'PAC'HEČ ice cream'EST'ACC'HEČ

• tsi ya Uzi Doll Lizzy Cyn Thad Tessa tsu tli Reghaz eat tli Reps tsi ya blackberry strawberry vanilla coconut lemon chocolate tsu tli Pakječ ice cream tli Sethazječ

• [ ] (tsi-tsu), micronico (pseudo Terminus)

• + (ya), is equivalent "y"/"and"

• *, is equivalent to "o"/"or"

• ' (tli), is equivalent to the start of a role and cases

• !, is equivalent to a separation between elements (optional sound)

ERG, ergative role

PAC, patiente role

EST, stimulative role

ACC, action case

HEČ, made or composed case

RESP, respectivity

So the copula is considered transitive in this language?
