Grammar
Noun classes Nouns are divided into four classes: substantive, agentive, verbal, and verb-derived nouns. Substantive nouns refer to "beings and inanimate objects". Agentive nouns are based on a nominal or a verb, with suffixes added. These suffixes will either produce an 'appellative noun', including third-person pronouns and all other words that express a concrete expression of the root, or a 'relative participial noun', expressing the state or action expressed in the root and appearing concretely in the derived noun. == Phonology ==
