=== | === Parts of Speech === | ||
Mirmio has only three parts of speech: nouns and verbs. | |||
Underlyingly, there are no words that can function as adjectives, adverbs, or adpositions. Rather, Mirmio uses relative clauses to convey lexical modification. This may result in only a singular modifier word if A-V word order for the relative clause is used, creating the appearance of a modifier. Similarly, relative clauses with V-A-A or A-V-A structures can give the appearance of a preposition or postposition. | |||
