It features ergative-absolutive alignment, and tends to form poetic compounds for words in a manner not unlike [[w:kenning|kennings]]. The construction of these new poetic compounds is often preferred and will even go on to replace a common word for an object. Speakers of Omonkwi are encouraged in this way to come up with new aesthetically pleasing new words and terms. | ||
