| "Primitive" as a name for a proto-language that has ''none'' of the distinguishing characteristics of its descendants, or resembles languages from other branches more than it resembles those of its own. Taken from [[wikipedia:Primitive Irish|Primitive Irish]], which has neither consonant lenition nor palatalization, and thus resembles Latin more than it resembles Old Irish.

| Another example is a language in which endings that mark gender or case are used to indicate the role of both nouns and their associated modifiers (such as adjectives) in a sentence (such as Russian and Spanish) '''or in which case endings are supplemented by verb endings marking the subject, direct object and/or indirect object of a sentence.'''

| NOTE that e.g. "the snake bit me" ends in - o and can be serialized with other - o verbs, so e.g. "the snake bit me so I ran away" in poswa would be just a single word, and in other plangs, 2 verbs that rhyme

| *'''wiwipwo''', lit "I begin to eat", aphesis for ''wiwipwafo'', "I can begin to eat", used as a noun meaning "my silverware" (or possibly even "my teeth").

| :*In the latter usage, this might serve as a way to conjugate "difficult" nouns that would otherwise suffer massive stem damage due to the concatenation of many fusional inflections. e.g. wiwipwo could take over as a suppletive for wiwi. Although this particular noun would not be a good example of such a thing because wiwi is not irregular.
