 ====Noun Morphology====
-Kukʉp is an ergative-absolutive language, meaning the ''object'' of a transitive verb and the single core ''argument'' of an intransitive verb are treated the same ('''absolutive'''), while the ''agent'' of a transitive verb is treated differently ('''ergative'''). In English, this would read as follows:
-* He (''agent'') found me (''object'').
-* Him (''argument'') traveled.
