Contents
Nouns
Nouns as suffixes
Nouns occurring as the subject of a sentence typically receive the suffix «-na». However, not every noun receives this inflection.
- Consider the following examples where subjects receive the suffix «-na»
- bangge<n><subj> ↔ banggena
Verbs
Number
Intransitive verbs agree with the subject for dual number by adding the pluralizer word «ge» before the verb.
- jila<v><iv><du> ↔ ge jila
- sofwa<v><iv><du> ↔ ge sofwa
- nasona<v><iv><du> ↔ ge nasona
- fina<v><iv><du> ↔ ge fina
For plurals I have no idea what's going on.
- jila<v><iv><pl> ↔ ge jalbili
- sofwa<v><iv><pl> ↔ ge sofwabili
- nasona<v><iv><pl> ↔ ge nasbawena
- fina<v><iv><pl> ↔ ge fibili
