====Stative forms==== | |||
Some nouns need to be marked for a so called stative form, which allows further nominal marking. Such nouns as ''water'', ''wind'' or ''fire'', for example, receive the nominal particle ''-na-'' (infixed after the first vowel if the word starts in a CV= syllable or after the first consonant in case of a VC= syllable). Nouns which don't usually receive a stative marker take it to make the noun a predicate in a nominal phrase. E.g.: | |||
:{| | |||
|- | |||
| ''pešš-'', tea plant, ''penašš-'' | |||
|- | |||
| <nowiki>{pe<na>šš-eš}</nowiki> | |||
|- | |||
| <nowiki>[tea.plant<STAT>-SG], "to be a teaplant";</nowiki> | |||
|- | |||
| <nowiki>{tea.plant<STAT>-SG DEM.SG.PROX.SP}</nowiki> | |||
|- | |||
| ''''' <nowiki>'</nowiki>penaššeš telêš<nowiki>'</nowiki> ''''', "this is a teaplant"; | |||
|- | |||
|} | |||
of which in turn the form | |||
:{| | |||
|- | |||
| <nowiki>{pe<na>šš-a-telê-eš}</nowiki> | |||

| <nowiki>[tea.plant<STAT>-A-DEM.SG.PROX.SP-SG]</nowiki> | |||

Some nouns can be incorporated to some verbs, in which case they take on an incorporated form. For example, nouns for food items can be incorporated into verbs of cooking; for instance, bread (akku-, incorporated form -kkû-) can be incorporated into to.cook (haptu-) as follows: | Some nouns can be incorporated to some verbs, in which case they take on an incorporated form.

For the rendering of more specific situations, noun incorporation into verbs is regularly employed combining an incorporated hyperonym with a non-incorporated hyponym marked as direct object. For example, "to meat-roast a lamb", "to tea-brew oolong", "to wall-erect an enclosure", "to animal-tame a horse", etc. | For the rendering of more specific situations, noun incorporation into verbs is regularly employed combining an incorporated hyperonym with a non-incorporated hyponym marked as direct object.
