Morphophonemics
Stem Termination Patterns
I don't understand what these are exactly. Also, you seem to be saying that an analysis like 'nuna<n>' maps to an English form like '-land', which probably needs to expressed differently. -JNW
This is for my reference, these are the possible ways that stems can end and will be useful in determining what suffixes can be added to a stem.
- Stem ending in a single prime vowel (any other than e)
- nuna<n> - land
- {pana<n> - spear
- siku<n> - ice
- qiya<v> - to cry
- ifla<v> - to lose or be lost
- Stems ending in two prime vowels
- puu<n> - handle
- kii<n> - wound
- avii<v> - for one's ears to ring
- aghnau<v> - to be a woman
- Stems ending with e not preceded by t
- nege<n> - food
- tume<n> - footprint
- neghe<v> - to eat
- kuuve<v> - to spill
- Stems ending in te
- yughaghte<n> - preacher
- riigte<n> - den
- ingaghte<v> - to lie down
- Stems ending in weak gh
- qayagh<n> - kayak
- aghnagh<n> - woman
- qikmigh<n> - dog
- No verbs
- Stems ending in strong fricative
- savig<n> - knife
- kiiw<n> - river
- ategh<n> - bone
- All verbs ending with fricatives are strong fricatives
- gavagh<v> - to sleep
- mayugh<v> - to climb
Adding Ø ending to nouns
So what is the morphological function of this? I think you probably need to come up with a tag to distinguish e.g. 'nege' from 'nega'; it's not very useful if they both have the same analysis nege<n>. -JNW
Ø ending changes noun stem into common form used for naming, I couldn't find a good tag for this, so I am using <np> the proper noun tag for this.
- e# → a
- nege<n><np> ↔ nega -food
- riigte<n><np> ↔ riigta -den
- sigute<n><np> ↔ siguta -ear
- gh# → q
- qayagh<n><np> ↔ qayaq -kayak
- g# → k
- ungag<n><np> ↔ ungak -whisker
- w# → kw
- kiiw<n><np> ↔ kiikw -river
- ghw# → qw
- qiighw<n><np> ↔ qiiqw -grey hair
- Prime vowel at end of stem remains the same
