I just finished designing Tunu nominal forms. Below are examples :
mara : big
memara : small
momara : size
(memara oti kana : i am small)
miki : house
mamiki : village
mumiki : House = home
(mumiki ono kana : I dwell in)
tunu : word
tatunu : sentence
tutunu : Word = language
(tutunu oko kana : i speak)
natu : hot season
nenatu : cold season
nonatu : both hot and cold seasons = year
ninatu : a season
tike : finger
tatike : hand
tetatike : the other hand
totatike : both hands
titatike : a/the hand
How do your conlangs deal with definite, abstract, collective, etc. nouns ?
