George or Carl,
Though the idea of a partitive genitive (if I have even expressed that
properly) has been discussed before in this forum, please give me a run down
once more so that I can get it in my mind! I think that we can add the
genitive to Carl's comment about the complexity of the accusative in most
grammars.
