[logon] (somewhat fundamental) updates in the LOGON tree

[Berthold Crysmann]

Hi Stephan, 

I discovered a problem with generation from predicate types (not
strings). 
While the lkb.old tree happily generates from such predicates, the new
branch complains about unknown predicates. Turning the predicates into
strings works around that issue, but I need underspecification in the
grammar. 

BTW: I am using the runtime binary (x86_64).  

You can test this with HaG and the following sentence: 

"wannan b'eeraa yaa zoo"
