noun phrases
The basic noun phrase in Kala is PREPOSITION DETERMINER NOUN DESCRIPTIVE-VERB RELATIVE-CLAUSE. Depending on context, this is fairly predominant with a few exceptions.
determiners
Determiners includes various particles, demonstratives, and quantifiers. Most nouns will have exactly one of these. They usually come before their nouns. Possessives are semantically determiners, but they can't carry determiner inflections, so an appropriate particle or pronoun is brought in for them.
quantifiers
correlative pronouns
verbs
mood
The negative mood (always marked finally) is indicated by the suffix –k or –nke (when the last syllable contains /k/).
- mita inayek - dog eat-PST-NEG - The dog did not eat.
