Kash grammar notes

GRAMMATICAL NOTES: Nothing terribly out of the ordinary. Mostly SVO, but simple SV can > VS. Verbs agree with subject (optional in semi-informal style, as here in a case or two). Most trans. verbs take their DO in the dative case.

-NOM: nominalizing prefixes; kañ- agent nouns, añ- abstracts
-INCHO: Inchoative form of the verb, 'beginning..., becoming....'
-ACCID: Accidental form of the verb, 'overcome by..., suffering..., experience in a bad way...'
-LOC: the locative marker; in/at with accusative (unmarked here); to/toward with dative (no instances here)
-The -NI suffix: actually 'his/her/its/their'; can also nominalize verbs (colloq.); and is used to indicate a possessive relationship between inanimate things. There is a lot on this in the Syntax section of the website.
-Anim. nouns pluralize with -la- (M/F not distinguished except in the pronouns~demonstratives), inanimates with -ç-
-Verbal tense is usually marked on the first verb in a narrative, but not thereafter.
