Description

Information and examples are from Peterson (2011:324) and John Peterson (personal communication, March 2012).

2 so-called “sequential converbs”/”conjunctive participles” (out of a paradigm of 3 forms in Kharia)

  • =ke, e.g. kaʔ kom=ki ɖhoʔ=ke (bow/arrow=pl grab=sequential) ‘having taken their bows and arrows, ...’
  • =ker (no examples available)

Note that Abbi (1995a:183), Abbi (1997:139–142) and Abbi (2001:47,53) mentions a number of other borrowed affixes in Kharia, but according to John Peterson (personal communication, March 2012), it is not certain whether any of these can be used with native stems.
