I have copies of it. Essentially, the kind of tenative outline discussion
resulted in this outline for the Grammar:

1. Chapter 1 - phonology
   Section 1. phonemic inventory
   Section 2. consonant clusters and dipthongs (new)
   Section 3. contrastive pairs (mentioned in original but not shown)

2. Chapter 2 - word classes - parts of speech
   Section 1. action/state words 
   Section 2. entity words
   Section 3. diectic words/pronouns
   Section 4. qualifiers
   Section 5. number words
   Section 6. particles
   Section 7. conjunctions
 
3. Chapter 3 - intensive reduplication
4. Chapter 4 - possession
5. Chapter 5 - syntactic relationships of entity words  
6. Chapter 6 - entity words

The Chapter 2 structure just organizes the chapter a bit more.

I'd like to see Chapters 3 thru 6 Appear as sections in a new chapter 3
Called synactic relationships of action/state and entity words. Something
like this:

Chapter 3 - synactic relationships of action/state and entity words
   Section 1. intensive reduplication
   Section 2. possession
   Section 3. time-and-space relations
   <and whatever else>

The word list will go in the Lexicon (following a more general style
of naming).
