Harlan Messinger skreiv:

Do you have some car?
Some cat came in the window.
I had some bad day today. I came down with some cold.

We don't need the articles. We don't need the pronoun cases. And there's a potensial for verbal meaning in prepositions.

With you cat?
Cat through window.
Today bad to I. Into I cold.
