<h3>Transitivity</h3> | |||
| |||
Antarctican | |||
also uses different verb roots for transitive and intransitive verbs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitivity_(grammar)) | |||
e.g. | |||
| |||
duoliieju /doleːɟu/ - to drag, intransitive, mirative (as in "his pants were dragging along the ground") | |||
dliieju | |||
/dɮeːɟu/ - to drag, transitive, mirative (as in "he was dragging his pants along the ground") | |||
| |||
tùlèezi /tuɦlɘɦːzi/ – to drag, intransitive, | |||
noun-focus | |||
tlèezi | |||
/tɬɘɦːzi/– to drag, transitive, noun-focus | |||
| |||
Very | |||
commonly, transitive roots are formed from intransitive roots by deletion of | |||
the first vowel and the second consonant. And if, out of the first and second | |||
consonants, one was soft and the other hard, the first consonant is changed to | |||
agree in hardness / softness with the second (deleted) consonant e.g. | |||
| |||
duolieegi /doleːgi/ - to drag, intransitive, root | |||
dlieegi /dɮeːgi/ - to drag, intransitive, root | |||
| |||
shinari | |||
/çinaʁi/ - to twist, intransitive, root | |||
hari | |||
/χaʁi/ - to twist, transitive, root | |||
| |||
The transitive roots are then inflected for mirativity vs. | |||
noun-focus etc. e.g. | |||
| |||
shinari | |||
/çinaʁi/ - to twist, intransitive, root | |||
shinali /çinali/ - to twist, intransitive, mirative | |||
yùenòerùe | |||
/jɨɦnɜɦʁɨɦ/ - to twist, intransitive, | |||
noun-focus | |||
| |||
hari | |||
/χaʁi/ - to twist, transitive, root | |||
hali | |||
/χali/ - to twist, transitive, mirative | |||
ròerùe | |||
/ʁɜɦʁɨɦ/ - to twist, transitive, noun-focus | |||
