Postposed referents or just afterthoughts?

[Rory M Larson]

> Yes, "too many for afterthought alone" was my conclusion too.  Beyond
that it was pretty much a vague "some kind of topicality" idea.

I thought your "heaviness" idea carried some weight too.

> Incidentally, I just looked back at the paper I sent out earlier to
remind myself what I said (oy - I'm getting feeble minded) and saw that the
examples are practically illegible.  I used fonts back then that my system
no longer supports, and I suspect most of you guys also see an amusing
array of hieroglyphics if you try to read it... Please accept my apologies.
If anyone would like a corrected version, with examples in the current
orthography, do let me know; I'm planning on fixing it right away, before I
forget, and it won't take long.

It seemed legible to me.  { is used for esh, ` for ezh, bold d for ledh,
bold g for g^, and 1 marks nasalization.  The only thing I couldn't make
out was a single case of [ used sentence-initially.  Is that capital esh or
ledh?
