Tigol/Proto-Tigol: Difference between revisions

Every noun falls under one of four tonal paradigms, derived from the Proto-Talsmic relic classifier clitic system.

#''cǔoryrlé'' ('sitting'): The most common paradigm, the downstep remains stationary, except as required by downstep rules or in the presence of the downstep-attracting absolute possession suffixes.

#''sŧǐelarlé'' ('shunning/evading'): The downstep is never on the suffix.

#''thácerlé'' ('standing'): Every suffix, except for conjunct possessive suffixes, bear the downstep.

#''gāħmirlé'' ('skipping/tumbling'): The downstep is one mora before the boundary of the suffix in the base form, and moves to the desinence upon inflection by a definite suffix.
