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
- 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
- e# → a
- nege<n> ↔ nega -food
- riigte<n> ↔ riigta -den
- sigute<n> ↔ siguta -ear
- gh# → q
- qayagh<n> ↔ qayaq -kayak
- g# → k
- ungag<n> ↔ ungak -whisker
- w# → kw
- kiiw<n> ↔ kiikw -river
- ghw# → qw
- qiighw<n> ↔ qiiqw -grey hair
- Prime vowel at end of stem remains the same
