I am especially interested in those two. How do you handle non-referential quantifiers, like "nobody" and "somebody"? Can they occur as regular arguments of a verb? Or do the show some special syntactic behaviour? Perhaps there are no equivalents to "nobody", "somebody" and other non-referential expressions in your conlangs?
