Do note that the specifier is afficed to the predicate-like part of the clause, in the last case '''''kānnam-i'''''. An apt translation would thus be ''That which is know(-ing), is a goat''. Remember that definiteness and tense are not distinguished in the language. | Do note that the specifier is afficed to the predicate-like part of the clause, in the last case '''''kānnam-i'''''.

== Transitive clauses == | |||
Transitive clauses are formed in a few different ways. This is the most common construction, | |||
{{gloss/indexable | |||
|phrase = yūr kingūssa kānnami | |||
|IPA = [ˈjʊ͜βɾ ˈkɪŋgʊ͜βsːa ˈkaːdnamɪ] | |||
| morphemes = yūr-∅ kin-gūssa-∅ kān-∅-yam-i | |||
| gloss = goat({{sc|II}})-{{sc|PRED}} {{sc|V.SPEC}}-arse-{{sc|PRED}} sight(V)-{{sc|PRED}}-{{sc|INF}}-{{sc|II.SPEC}} | |||
| translation = The goat must have seen the arse | |||
| index = 15 | |||
}} | |||
which uses a specifier marking on the verb and on the object of the verb. A less idiomatic translation would be ''That which sees that which is the arse, it is a goat''. | |||
