I originally described Eklektu as having basically two parts of speech. =
But
it turns out that the "verb-like" or "noun-like" roots require a =
definition
of their "place structure" (for lack of a better term) to fully specify

categories related to their use in Eklektu syntax (verb markers, noun
markers, case markers, etc.)
