Notes
Kandi is a strongly SOV/OSV-language, which means that the verb-like content word is final. Then, Kandi doesn't really distinguish nouns or verbs.
Do take a look at this and in particular the chapter on the specifier spec.
Gloss | English | Notes |
---|---|---|
spec | specifier | On the usage |
transl | translative | Signifies a change in state. |
pred | predicative | The predicative is mandatory and unmarked on all content words. That is, not conjunctions or pronouns. |
comp | compound | Forms a compound, or incorporation. |
neg | negation | Negates or polarises phrases. |
loc | locative | Signifies location. Also indicates inalienable possession. |
instr | instrumental | Signifies an instrument. Also has a comitative function, as well as indicating alienable possession. |
lat | lative | Signifies movement to a location. Also works like a dative or benefactive. May be polarised into an elative. |
I, II, III, ..., IX | noun class | See Noun class specifiers. |
