Grammar concerning the core Kandi grammar is found in the pdf added on this page (to be added to Linguifex). However, a few things are still missing from the current draft: | |||
* The Kandi word order is not strict, but in this text predominantly SOV. | |||
* Kandi has a number of evidential suffixes, one of which is the evidential hearsay, denoting actions only heard of in third person or myths. | |||
{{gloss/indexable | |||
| phrase = Kaputtíndannur | |||
| IPA = /ka'put:i:ndan:ur/ | |||
| morphemes = ka-puy=tindan=nur | |||
| gloss = 2P-D.all=know.PRED=EVID.HEAR | |||
| translation = They say he knows all. | |||
| index = 1 | |||
}} | |||
* Adverbial constructs are often produced with the instrumental applicative | |||
{{gloss/indexable | |||
| phrase = Awí wuhahaktunattu | |||
| IPA = /a'wi: wuha'haktunat:u/ | |||

| gloss = happy.PRED 1P-D.that=do=APP.INSTR | |||
