I've just been reviewing your Asha'ille grammar, and I'd say that
several important aspects of it -- the noun inflection, the
indifferent marking of direct and indirect objects, the negative verb
inflection, the two optional verb marking systems with affixes vs.
particles, and (especially) the deictic system are unlike any IE
language I'm familiar with.
