=== Kappatic and sigmatic forms === | ==== Kappatic and sigmatic forms ==== | ||
A system of ''kappatic'' and ''sigmatic'' forms is commonly used with nouns and adjectives. Kappatic and sigmatic both refer to the addition of a consonant at the start of a nominal, ''k-'' and ''s-'', respectively. These forms are used as a way to indicate both spatial deixis and/or definiteness. The more common of the two is the ''kappatic''. Adjectives can also be nominalized using these forms to have the meaning of 'the [adjective] one'. They are derived from the demonstratives '''''ka''''' 'this' and '''''sa''''' 'that'. | A system of ''kappatic'' and ''sigmatic'' forms is commonly used with nouns and adjectives.
