== Derivation ==

Minhast relies on NI, often in combination with nominalization, to derive nouns from verbs. Compounding is also used to derive new vocabulary; often this compounding derives from Type I noun incorporation, or a noun phrase that was originally a ''min'' construction, but due to frequent use the ''min'' connective was eroded and additional morphophonetic changes derived a new noun. Combinations of Type I noun incorporation and nominalization also occur. A few examples of the derivational processes that Minhast employs are illustrated as follows:

Compounding is also used to derive new vocabulary; often this compounding derives from Type I noun incorporation, or a noun phrase (oftentimes a quasi-verb noun) that was originally a ''min'' construction, but due to frequent use the ''min'' connective was eroded and additional morphophonetic changes derived a new noun. Combinations of Type I noun incorporation and nominalization also occur. A few examples of the derivational processes that Minhast employs are illustrated as follows:

* Occupation - Nominalization + Type I Noun Incorporation: ''rayy-'' + verb root/complex , e.g. ''raysilapkannaft'' >> ''rayy-silap-gāl=naft'' person-ride.horse- i.e. "horseman" (Horse Speaker dialect);

* Place - NP + NP Compounding: Verb root/complex + ''kian-/kyan/tappe'', e.g. ''gubbattustappe'' >> ''gubbāt-dust-tappe'' >>'' gubbāt-dust min tappe'' make.war-RECIP.ADVERS-location, i.e. "battlefield" (Salmon Speaker dialect)
