[Lingtyp] Temporal features?

[Peter Austin]

Dear colleagues

I have worked on the deictic system of Sasak, spoken on Lombok island, east
of Bali, which also has a prominent volcano like Bali island.

Sasak has 4 systems for cardinal directional terms, involving 180 degree
flip of 'towards the mountains' and 'towards the sea' like in Balinese, but
also rotation of timuq 'east' and baret 'west' through 90 degrees in two of
the systems. Therefore, geographic north can be any of lauq, daye, baret or
timuq depending on where on Lombok one is located.

If you are interested I can share a draft discussion paper with you. Best
wishes,

Peter
