== Morphology ==

=== Nouns ===

Nouns fall into 3 genders (human, animate and inanimate) and inflect for number (sg, du, pl) and case (abs erg gen lat loc voc). Possessed forms have unpredictable stems and comes from proto-forms that had a different stress pattern than absolute forms. The appropriate 3rd person possessed forms are used like construct state forms in possessive constructions.

The locative is used with prepositions to indicate location and is the default prepositional case; when the lative is used the same prepositions indicate destination, and when the ergative is used they indicate "motion from".

==== Possessive prefixes ====

===== Type 1 possession =====

Type 1 possession is somewhat like inalienable possession. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''dependent'' form of the noun.

* sèmpèlàrán > sệplă-N 'body'

* hísèmpèlàrán > isplăr-N 'my body'

* lusèmpèlàrán > lùsplăr-N 'thy body'

* àsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (animate)

* ànsèmpèlàrán > àsplăr-N (inanimate)

* láhisèmpèlàrán > lisplăr-N 'our body'

* númasèmpèlàrán > nosplăr-N 'your body'

* àlsèmpèlàrán > àlsplăr-N '3pl's body'

===== Type 2 posssession =====

Type 2 possession is the default possessive strategy. It is marked by adding possessive prefixes to the ''independent'' form of the noun.

=== Adjectives ===

Adjectives agree with nouns, def adjectives take the def article (bc Hebrew)

=== Verbs ===

Old Irish-style independent-dependent verbal allomorphy, which includes tone changes
