Well, I read the words (even though they warn me emphatically that they're for FC5 only); and what's more, I followed the links, and tried to read those -- despite the fact that the link to FAQs for other releases only takes me round Robin Hood's barn. What I keep saying is that I couldn't follow them. It's not that those are bad explanations; it's that the prerequisites for being able to understand them are way, way beyond me. Here's another way to put it. Try picking up Lauri Hakulinen's history of Finnish grammar and reading it. I have, twice, both in the original Finnish, and in the German translation, on which LH himself collaborated, with additions and updates. Of course, I was already a practicing historian of tongues, with nearly twenty year's experience, before I started.

And reported here that I had done it. I'm not *trying* to frustrate you, blast it all. I'm just nowhere near your class, nor likely to live long enough to get near. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
