Grammatical notes
- The language is head-final, SOV
- Don’t care about the tones (the diacritics)
- Nominal possession is expressed by the tones, but looks like contraposition X of Y -> Y-X
- Any prepositional phrase can be promoted to indirect object by placing the preposition as a prefix in the verb
The structure of the verb
Some participle markers – promoted preposition – perfect marker – root – person suffixes – markers of definite direct or indirect object – some clitics
The structure of the noun
Classifier – specifier (an infix inside the classifier) – root
Verbal prefixes
i- – perfect
wa- - negative participle
Verbal suffixes
(A)g – SG1
Ep – SG2
A – definite direct object
I – definite indirect object
=Sy – now
Classifiers
(I recommend not translating these.)

P_r – human, coeval, relative, outcast
F_ – mental entity
