Honestly I'm not sure if their ready for that yet, I know I have found
lots of gramatical and spelling errors in the versions I posted. 

If you want to go ahead and add our suggestions to a Grammar, I will
get to work cleaning my stuff up.

You should not have to redesign the Grammer much. I have some suggested
changes based on what we have discussed so far. Basically just a
simple restructuring retaining what we have so far, and where to put
the new parts:

Chapter 1. Phonology
        1,1 Phonemic Inventory
        1,2 Consonant Clusters and Dipthongs
        1,3 Minimally Contrastic Pairs
        (Possibly some more in here)

Chapter 2. Morphology
        2,1. Word Formation
        2,2. Mutations
        (Possibly some more in here)

Chapter 3. Word Classes Parts of Speech
        3,1. Action/State Words
        3,2. Entity Words
        3,3. Pronouns
        3,4. Qualifiers
        3,5. Number Words
        3,6. Syntactic Particles

Chapter 4. Syntactic Relationships
        4,1. Possessivity 
        4,2. Intensive Reduplication
        4,3. Spatial
        4,4. Temporal
        4,5. Interogatives

We also may need another chapter later on for how to form clauses,
sentances, paragraphs, and document structuring.
