Talk:Kihā́mmic

Fusionality

Are you sure kihámmic is a fusional language? It doesn't strike me as more fusional than say, quechua. Was this modeled after quechua?

Oops, forgot to sign, Greatbuddha! I fear he won't respond for a while - last time I heard from him, he was in France, headed for Siberia. Nevertheless, how come you don't find it very fusional? And I think he liked Quechua quite a bit, in fact. Waahlis 23:33, 2 July 2013 (CEST)

The morphemes aren't really fused, look at the paradigms. Most of the case markers are invariable, the plural marker is always -m-, look at the paradigms. Also, I've found that wikipedia will classify american languages that fuse tam, subject and object person and number, valency, and dependancy into 1 or two unanalyzeable morphemes and have variable verb stems depending on context as "agglutinative", and Kihammic is nowhere near doing that much.
