suggestion that {SIS} and {peD} and so forth use the indefinite subject
suffix {-lu'} advocates this idea. >>

teHlu' It's true!
Doqlu' It's red???
I feel SIS and peD do not require subjects at all. Even the English "it" may
not be a subject, really, even though in a grammar tree, "it" is considered
the subject. What does "it" refer to? Nothing! "It" is not the pronoun "it"
which refers to a previous topic. English is so weird we cannot say
"Raining"; we have to add "It is....." just to feel right.
Aha, back to feelings. I prefer SIS and peD without -lu'.
