Ergativity can stay. It's the not-even-tripartite whatever-case-ending-strikes-our-fancy crowd that's pissing me off.
But I found whatshisname's paper (whatshisname = professor of cog sci at Stanford; did PhD at Stanford and was at CMU for a while in between; i forget his actual name), cleverly titled "Ergativity in Inuktitut," so once the midterm is over I'll have some entertaining light reading.
