======Derivation ====== | |||
Nankôre has a set of verbalizing prefixes that when attached to nominal roots, often body parts, create verbs. These prefixes are most likely the remnants of Proto-Nahenic noun incorporation, based on comparisons with Nankôre's distant relatives, Minhast and Nahónda; similar or even identical fossilized affixes have been found in these languages that likewise attach to nominal roots for body parts to derive verbs, e.g. Minhast ''kirim'' (from ''k-erum'', literally "make sound with the mouth) and Nahónda ''k'loma'' (from ''k'-loma''); ''kirim'' is the Minhast cognate of Nankôre ''kôre''. | |||
