===Consonant Agreement Between Words=== | |||
The Masculine-Feminine Consonant Distinction carries over between words as well as within them; Unless the word is a noun or determiner, then the final consonant will shift according to the gender of the word after it, thus, the example; | |||
fo''cw'' tânycw mery''gw'' ta ty. | |||
The noun "fo''gw''" agrees with the feminine adjective ["tâ-"] by becoming unvoiced ["focw"], similarly, the adjective becomes feminine; [tâny''gw''-> tâny''cw''] | |||
However, the ending of mery''gw'' [sheep] which is masculine remains so, despite the next word starting with an unvoiced "t" [-gw remains -gw]. | |||
