I was there for the editing and I don't recall any instance of
changing/adding/deleting aspect suffixes from my side of the table
(we were divided into two groups). Does anyone else? It's possible
we took out some that violated the after 'e' rule, but we certainly
did not engage in a wholesale deletion of aspect suffixes that Marc
had placed there. If there had been a use of aspect suffixes that we
found contrary to our feelings, we would have asked about them. I
think pretty much everyone's goal is to learn more about the language
as it should be, not propagate our personal visions of it.
I so wish we had video of the process!
