Lakovic languages: Difference between revisions

Line 278:

Verbs inflected for triggers, TAM, pluractionality, evidentiality, and gender agreement. Present-day Lakovic languages preserve these inflections to varying levels.

====Gender====

*''wa-'' = feminine

*wa- = feminine

====TAM====

*unmarked: imperfective (current state for stative)

*''-H'': perfective (dynamic for stative)

*-H: perfective (dynamic for stative)

*various reduplifixes for other TAMs:

**''C1V-'' = iterative, habitual action

**C1V- = iterative, habitual action

====Triggers====

Triggers (giving the noun in the direct case specific semantic roles) were marked by adding infixes to the verbal grade of the root. The original trigger system became a derivational system in daughter languages, much like binyanim (originally marking voice) in Semitic languages.

*{{angbr|''əp''}} = patient trigger

*{{angbr|əp}} = patient trigger

*{{angbr|''əl''}} = reciprocal

*{{angbr|əl}} = reciprocal

*{{angbr|''əŋ''}} = destination trigger

*{{angbr|əŋ}} = destination trigger

*{{angbr|''it''}} = locative trigger

*{{angbr|it}} = locative trigger

*{{angbr|''əm/nəm''}} = ablative/causative trigger

*{{angbr|əm/nəm}} = ablative/causative trigger

*{{angbr|''əw''}} = instrument trigger

*{{angbr|əw}} = instrument trigger

====Nominalization====

Deverbal nouns were formed in the following ways:

*The nominal grade CVCC of the root.

*etc.
