{- IL: I don't think we should do prodrop here. vStr drops the copula in present tense,
so there's hardly anything left for a predicative clause: e.g.
PredVP (UsePron i_Pron) (UseComp (CompCN (UseN car_N))) "I am a car"
would be linearised just as "car", if we have both prodrop and copula drop.
Leaving it up to someone who knows Arabic to decide what is better.
