Notation

-+ adds a mora to the final syllable.
-& adds a mora to the first syllable. (not penultimate!)
-$ deletes a mora from the final syllable.
-% deletes a mora from the penultimate syllable.
-(%) deletes a mora from the penultimate syllable if the word has three or more syllables.

I could probably rewrite the V/C thing with the new notation, but I won't yet.

Note that -y is not a consonant; it represents palatalization. t d ts dz r l palatalize to ch j ch j ry ly; p b m become psh bzh mn; and palatalization is lost everywhere else.

Verbs

Person marking

Absolutive marking is suffixal and obligatory:

	1	2	3
Masc.	-%ts	-%m	-%s
Fem.	-$t	-$mi	-sh
Inan.			-0

Topic marking is optional, and usually omitted when the topic is identical to the absolutive argument. All avocalic topic markers block -%, and all vocalic topic markers contain %-, which is blocked by -$ in suffixes: d-geli-%ts gives dgelits, not *dglits, and te%-geli-$t gives tegelt, not *teglt.

h- aspirates a following plosive and devoices a following voiced fricative, and otherwise is realized as k-.
T, S, L refer to the shape/position of the topic. N is negative.

Imperatives: 2SG -0, 2PL -q.

Argument-changing

-:za promotes locative to absolutive.
Antipassive is -y for verbs with a palatalizable non-nasal final consonant, -i for verbs with another final consonant, -hi for monosyllabic vowel-final verbs, and -zhi for everything else.
