 In relation to the rest of the language, I support various things that others have already proposed, i.e. definite article **de**, indefinite (singular) article **en**; plural ending **-e**, genitive ending **-s**; adjectival comparison endings **-er** and **-est**; infinitive ending **-en**.
-I'm working on a correlatives proposal (snapshot: **vat, vem, vems, vilk, van, vaar, varfur, ho; dis, das, al, sum, ing**), and I might tackle the conjunctions and prepositions too. I've also put forward some ideas about the orthography, which you can read about in this wiki.
+I'm working on a correlatives proposal (snapshot: **vat, vem, vems, vilk, van, vaar, varfur, ho; dis, das, al, sum, ing**), and I might tackle the conjunctions and prepositions too. Regarding the "old chestnut" of the past tense and the past/passive participle, my latest thinking is as follows: the past-tense ending should be **-d** and the participle ending should be **-t**, with both taking a bridging **-e-** when necessary or convenient - or, if we aren't bothered about part-of-speech marking, we could use the same word in both places.
