waiting.

---- END part I ----

---- PART II Conlang Typlogic Survey 2001 ----

House-keeping data

Name of the participating conlang:
    Denanan

2: Order of genitive (G), and noun (N)
That is: Possessor/owner and possession/owned thing
    GN

If there aren't a way to show this in the language, please say so.
If there is a way...
Is the order GN, NG or both?
    only ever GN

How is it shown?
    a suffix on the G (-n, to be precise)

3: Order of adjective (A) and noun (N)
    AN, NA

Does the language have a closed class of adjectives?
    I don't understand. Denanan has a separate grammatical class of words
which are adjectives.

- If yes,
    - how are they shown? (see question 2 above)
    Um. Well, most adjectives end in -al or -an. Apart from that they're
invariable.

    - list them
    What, all of them???

If there is not a separate open adjective-class, what type of words do
the work of adjectives, verbs or nouns?

Regardless of being a separate class or not:
How are they similar, how do they differ from verbs and nouns?
    They are more like independant pearticles, they're completely
invariable. They add no inflections.

Can they take a copula (that is: need/don't need equivalent of "to be")?
    They don't. Adjectives come before nouns when they simply describe them:
badan máh "the hot girl", and after if you want to say "the N is A": máh
badan "the girl is hot".


---- END part II ----
When do we get part three?

Amer un autre es veder le visaic de Deu.
