Michael, am I wrong? this sounds to me more like the writing of a new
grammar than the editing of BDF.
In that case, will you include sections on morphology and "Wortbildung"?
That is one deficiency in BDF, as presently constructed.
And I hope you will expand his section or rhetorical figures, more like the
section in Smythe' classical grammar.
