Tarkadamonian pronouns, in addition to indicating case relations, obligatorily encode tense, aspect, and mood (TAM). Pronouns also mark negation. Portmanteau forms are used in transitive clauses when the patient argument is omitted. TAM and polarity marking apparently arose from cliticization of pronominal forms to a copula, which itself encoded negation. | |||
