Peshpeg: Difference between revisions

The independent pronouns show a consistent ergative-absolutive pattern, identifiable by the suffix ''-du'' attached to the absolutive form of the pronoun.  The suffix is derived from the Minhast ergative clitic ''=de'', incorporated into the language sometime during the start of the Wolf Speaker invasions in the early to mid 1700's.  This apparently led to the rearrangement of the verbal system and shift from its original nominative-accusative alignment to its present-day morphosyntactic alignment.
