Such a thing exists, in part, already. Go here:

Or talk about the Grammar, is to expand on what the Zvelebil's call
the Vulcan Lexicon. Before we can attempt to create a teaching manual,
we must flesh out the grammar rules. I have made a first attempt to
expand on the grammar with a expansion on the space-and-time expressions
in the lexicon. Saul objected to parts of it, so he and I have been
resolving our dispute in the background. I think we almost have all
his objections resolved and our combined effort should be forthcoming
shortly.

from the responses and then delete them en masse.
