=== Determiners === | |||
Like many languages that fall in the Siouan Sprachbund, Nahónda developed a set of determiners that convey size and shape information of their noun heads. These determiners are descended from postural and motion verbs, reflecting an evolutionary pathway like the non-Siouan languages that developed similar determiners. The verbs from which these articles developed from come from Nahenic roots. | |||
