Compound words in PGH have a strict format to them & their creation. Namely, while a variety of stems may be included in compounding, all compounds are nouns. Similarly, the first | Compound words in PGH have a strict format to them & their creation. Namely, while a variety of stems may be included in compounding, all compounds are nouns or occasionally numerals. Similarly, the first stems in the compound typically acts as somewhat of a descriptor to the last stem, the head, which is often but not necessarily a noun itself. If a multisyllabic stem is to be compounded, typically only the first syllable of the stem is used in the compound which will most often take its place as again the first or near-first syllable of the compound, however there is the case of only the last syllable being taken from the stem and used finally or medially in the compound. Compounds comprised of multiple multisyllabic stems will either take the form of 1S-1S-1S-...-LS-LS-LS (1S and LS being the first and last syllables of their respective stems respectively) or simply compounding only the first syllable of each stem. Occasionally a multisyllabic head will remain unmodified in compounds, especially if the syllable boundary or number is ambiguous (e.g. {{term|*úphqa#Proto-Glaeglo-Hyudrontic|*ǘphqa}}, child). | ||
====Adjectives==== | |||
Adjectives in PGH are, in essence, nothing more than specialized components (usually monosyllabic affices) of compounds. Unlike compound nouns, however, specialized adjectives typically manifest as a head-initial parameter, with the majority (though certainly not all) being classed as suffices of the word they modify, applied to a little wider range of word classes than exclusively nouns. | |||
