There are three types of determiners in Peshpeg. The language has a definite article that refers not only to specific or highly referential nouns, but they may also serve to refer to an abstract class e.g. ''gal<u>gda</u>'' "the (class of animals known as) horse". The definite article is also used to nominalize verbs, e.g. ''lozha'' < ''loz-<u>sha</u>'' "singing". The definite article has different forms which must agree in number and gender with their noun heads; however, it does not mark for case. The forms for the definite article are as follows | |||
