good morning! I'm only a bit into my first cup of coffee so maybe I'll have thoughts about this later/after lecturing on the matter but currently a student question has me stumped: why don't we just give NOM from C rather than from T? Since Ts without Cs don't give it

personally I would love an excuse to put feature inheritance in the garbage can (it's countercyclic! no one has solved this imo!) so if we could just all agree that NOM is assigned by C actually and is sort of incidental to tense. that would be great

if you are going to @ me about Icelandic. well just watch out
