Chlouvānem/Morphology: Difference between revisions

Denominal adverbs are formed in a different way. In Archaic and Classical Chlouvānem, a noun in the instrumental plural (usually with the suffix ''-^e/_anīka'') was usually meant as an adverb. However, starting from Classical Chlouvānem, '''-naise''', originally simply the locative singular of ''naisah'' "shape", came to be commonly used as a grammaticalized adverbial forming suffix, and it is the preferred way of forming adverbs from nouns today. Archaic and early Classical Chlouvānem only used the instrumental plural, with ''-naise'' only found sporadically when actually referring to something "in the shape of X"; later texts show the latter form becoming increasingly common, to the point of almost entirely replacing the instrumental plural as an adverbial marker, which only survives in religious texts today.
