Should that not be PTUW!
I agree also with your last post about the "predicate position" and
"attributive position." I possess at least a dozen grammars that use that
terminology. It seems very usefull to me for describing word order in
adjectives and PAS/PASA/PAN is an adjective albeit one with slightly
different functions. I have used this terminologhy since the mid fifties
with no real confusion about PAS. I can also understand Iver's discription
of the use of PAS, but it certainly seems confusing to me to bring in the
terminology of apposition. Where an adjective functions as a noun, I can
see apposition but it seems very unnecessary in relation to PAS.
