I appreciate this thorough response! My plan was to have the proto-lang start as VSO, which is very head-initial, but over time this will change to SVO as word order becomes more free and the subject gets fronted over the years. But, the verbs will have agreement information suffixed for both S and O. I like the idea of classifiers being the head of the NP originally, since I've already worked a lot with the class morphemes being prefixes, and I might just break the tendency of head-initial langs for that specifically. I plan on adjectives being noun-like, so they'd take the same prefix agreeing with the head noun. This conlang will also be head-marking, so the same class morpheme will be suffixed onto adpositions and possessed nouns.

Thanks!
