Kadiweu notes
Verbs
The analysis is based on the 850+ paradigms given by Griffiths (2002). The morphological treatment largely follows Sandalo (1997) and Nevins and Sandalo (2011), notably in the following morphophonological points:
- Final consonants are deleted.
- An epenthetic /i/ is inserted to break up certain potential consonant clusters.
- /y/ + /i/ yields /i/.
Explicitly transitive forms are not noted in the database, but they are regularly generated. 3pl>3 forms take a prefixed o-, and 1st and 2nd person objects take the following forms:
| prefix 1 | prefix 2 | |
| 3>1sg | i | d |
| 2>1sg | a | d |
| 2,3>1pl | ɢo | d |
| 1,3>2 | ɢa | d |
There is a class of intransitive verbs, labelled 'unaccusative' by Nevins and Sandalo (2011), whose subject forms correspond to the object values in this paradigm.
Nouns
- Information on noun plural formation is taken from Griffiths & Griffiths(1976).
- We differ here in the treatment of the frequent singular ~ plural pair represented by noledi ~ noletedi 'fire'. They suggest that the plural here is -di, accompanied by (i) devoicing of the final stem consonant, which is common in any case, and (ii) dissimilation of the stem-final vowel /i/. However, data from Griffiths (2002) suggests that it should rather be construed as -di ~ -tedi, because (i) other syllables may substitute for /te/; e.g. ligaanaɢanaɢa-di 'place for singing' has two alternative plurals: ligaanaɢanaɢa-tedi or ligaanaɢanaɢa-xiidi (-xiidi is otherwise a typical plural termnination for nouns ending in -xi); and (ii) dissimilation need not occur in such cases, as in ligegi ~ ligeki-di 'ear of grain'.
