<h3>Restrictive / Non-Restrictive Modifiers</h3> | |||
When verbs / adjectives are used as modifiers, the mirative form is used when the modifier | |||
is non restrictive ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictiveness ), and the | |||
normal form is used when the modifier is restrictive e.g. from the work tieyláae | |||
/teilɛʔː/ - shirt, we can say: | |||
tieyláae rèdlu /teilɛːʔ ʁɘɦdɮu/ – a red shirt | |||
(non-restrictive) | |||
tieyláae rèdù /teilɛːʔ ʁɘɦduɦ/ – the red shirt | |||
(restrictive) | |||
