A big white man at the front of 7-11 today exclaimed "Wind!" whilst I was consuming my pizza and Korean iced tea, the heavy precipitation descending. He was alluding to my predilection for languages with omnipredicativity. Nahuatl, a Mexican indigenous language, is such. I desire to be able to say one word, a verb or noun, and it would be a full predicative. English is not such. Some experimental constructed languages are such. With one vocable, there is breath.
