[h2]Verbs[/h2]

[h3]Roots and Stems[/h3]
Verb [b][u]roots[/u][/b], the large majority of which are one or two syllables, are the uninflected bases upon which the verb word is constructed. They are written throughout this sketch between |single pipes|. Verb [b][u]stems[/u][/b] are the inflectable form of verbs -- i.e., they are able to directly take inflectional affixes. Many verb stems consist of roots plus derivational suffixes (though plenty of verb roots can be used as full stems ...

[h3]Aspect[/h3]

[h4]Obligatory Aspect Inflection[/h4]
All fully inflected verbs in Hikóómayíi take a suffix marking person/number/obviativity/animacy of the absolutive (S/P/R), mood/tense (realis, irrealis, or future -- see below), and aspect (perfective or imperfective). [b][u]Perfective[/u][/b] ([sc]pfv[/sc]) predicates are prototypically those viewed "externally," with a defined beginning and end, and no focus on internal structure. [b][u]Imperfective[/u][/b] ([sc]impfv[/sc]) pre...

[h3]Transitivity[/h3]
All verb roots in Hikóómayíi are inherently either [b][u]transitive[/u][/b] or [b][u]intransitive[/u][/b] (none are inherently ditransitive). Obviously, intransitive roots have one associated participant (S), while transitive roots have two (A and P). Many intransitive roots can be directly inflected for the person of S, without further modification:

[h3]Alignment[/h3]
As alluded to above, Hikóómayíi shows [b][u]ergative alignment[/u][/b], since verbs inflect for the absolutive participant (S of intransitive clauses, P of transitive clauses, R of ditransitive clauses). The ergative (A of transitive clauses) is not indexed on the verb.

Additionally, verbs mark a [b][u]direct/inverse[/u][/b] distinction. Hikóómayíi has a [b][u]prominence hierarchy[/u][/b]: 1/2 > 3[sc]prox > 3obv > inan[/sc], in which the persons to the le...

Hikoomayii Story (2017-05-16 10:25:53) :
In the underlying representation, acute marks high tones, unmarked marks low tones, and H marks variable-toned vowels -- the tone of variable-toned vowels depends on position with respect to the word boundary and to high toned vowels. Basically, it's normally low in odd-numbered syllables from the beginning of the word or most recent long vowel, or when adjacent to a high tone vowel, and is high otherwise. (But underlying high and variable-toned vowels can still surface as low when preceding con...
