Nahónda: Difference between revisions

Like many languages that fall in the Siouan Sprachbund, Nahónda uses determiners to mark size and shape information on nouns.  These determiners occur as a set of suffixes that attach to the noun preceding any case markers. As in many of the languages that fall within the Siouan Sprachbund, these suffixes are descended from postural and motion verbs, reflecting an evolutionary pathway like the non-Siouan languages.  The verbs from which these suffixes developed originate from Nahenic roots.
