"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 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.

Verb reforms
3p agent cannot have 1p or 2p patient. USE passive verbs. What noun case? 1p and 2p are thus outside the gender/animacy setup.
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
Poswa 1st & 2nd person are true cogs of the khulls singular forms. 3ps is epicenes or neuters, and may be from bu+a. Thus not a direct cognate.
In gold, all plurals 're epicenes. K is been conzo in 1&2s, p in plural

- 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.
