* '''Minhast Morphosyntax Notes - Noun Incorporation''': This is an example of Minthun's Classificatory NI (Class IV) being exploited by Minhast. Here, it is essentially creating the equivalent of a locative noun in other languages, e.g. English "Within the ''interior of'' the beast...", which is essentially an Inessive-like case construction. Here, ''nua'' means "side", and has been incorporated into the verb complex. The implicit head is ''suharak'' (deerskin), which was mentioned in a previous line in the passage, which is what the Locative applicative ''naħk-'' is referring to. This construction is equivalent to saying "Next to it", "By its side", etc. | |||
