&gt; ParsedCommand that looks like this:
&gt;
&gt; class ParsedCommand { public:
&gt;         string verb;
&gt;         string direct_object; // Noun being manipulated
&gt;         string indirect_object; // Noun that receives the action
&gt;         string direct_object_adj; // Adjectives describing direct object
&gt;         string indirect_object_adj; // Adjectives describing the indirect object
&gt;         bool IsNewClause;
&gt; }
&gt;
&gt; Then say the player enter a command like: buy the biggest ball from the 3rd shopkeeper

Hmmm. At first glance you are missing a count paramter, which promptly
leeds to the need to recognize bth singular and plurar nouns:

&gt; buy two knives from the shady dealer

Note the possible reverses though:

&gt; give the shady dealer both knives
&gt; give the shadow dealer two knives
&gt; give two knives to the shady dealer

In the events I use for CthulhuMud I have the following for an event:

Actor - the person who is doing
Victim - the victim who is being done to
Observer - the one who is watching the action (I, may also be actor and/or victim)
primary object
secondary object
text (for say and the like)
count

Agruably this is to restrictive, as I should be able to attach counts to almost all of the fields -
the 300 green samurai attack the 75 black ninjas with thier razor sharp swords.
