==Additional Notes== | |||
# In intransitive clauses, the copula takes the Direct forms only. | |||
# In transitive clauses, high animate core arguments are considered Agents by default. Low animate core arguments acting as Agents license the Inverse marker ''ta-''; the Inverse marker cliticizes to the initial verb of the verb complex, and is prefixed to the copula; the low animate argument is thus doubly marked by the Inverse marker. | |||
# The pronominal animacy hierarchy is: 1st >> 2nd >> 3rd. However, note that plural 3rd person arguments outrank all singular arguments. | |||
# The present tense, when used as a narrative tense, often refers to past events. Adverbial markers referring to the distal past, such as ''yorai'', may thus appear with a present tense copula. | |||
# Rather than using cases or adpositions to indicate thematic relations, Nankôre employs [[Nankôre#Directional-Positional_Coverbs|coverbs ]] in verb serialization constructions. | |||
More information about the grammar can be found in the [[Nankôre]] wiki. Readers are directed to the sections dealing with the [[Nankôre#The_Nominal_Hierarchy|animacy hierarchy]] and familiarize themselves with the direct-inverse marking system of the copula, as well as the [[Nankôre#The_Verb_Complex|verb complex]]. | |||
