Dear DM-listers -

Just a note in re the notion that it's the morphological complexity of
latinate verbs that restricts their double-objecting: it's not my idea,
nor Alec's, but, as I finally recalled definitely in a blinding flash last
night, David Pesetsky's, who invokes Myer's Generalization in exactly this
paradigm and for exactly this reason: p. 127-129 of Zero Syntax lay out
the basic argument. Apologies to all; my brain sometimes pulls out good
ideas it's heard elsewhere a couple of years later and tries to pass them
off to me as its own innovations. Bad brain.
	Hammond's discussion of the consonant clusters in Latinate roots,
though, is still worth integrating into the discussion as support for this
idea. Look for more on the subject in the near future -
  best,
hh
