The Root-Pattern is secluded to nouns, appositions, and verbs, which are lexicalized by class, state, essence, condiment, and/or formality: | |||
*thirty-six classes: Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7, Class 8, Class 9, Class 10, Class 11, Class 12, Class 13, Class 14, Class 15, Class 16, Class 17, Class 18, Class 18, Class 19, Class 20, Class 21, Class 22, Class 23, Class 24, Class 25, Class 26, Class 27, Class 28, Class 29, Class 30, Class 31, Class 32, Class 33, Class 34, Class 35, Class 36. | |||
*two states: [[w:Absolute construction|absolute]] and [[w:Construct state|construct]]. | |||
*six/five essences: [[w:Nominative case|nominative]], [[w:Accusative case|accusative]], [[w:Dative case|dative]], [[w:Copula (linguistics)|copulative]], [[w:Ergative case|ergative]], and [[w:Genitive case|genitive]]. | |||
*three numbers: [[w:Singular number|singular]], [[w:Dual number|dual]], and [[w:Plural number|plural]]. | |||
*three referentialities: [[w:Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite]], [[w:Article (grammar)#Indefinite article|indefinite]], and [[w:Article (grammar)#Partitive article|nomic]]. | |||
*two genders: [[w:Feminine gender|feminine]] and [[w:Masculine gender|masculine]]. | |||
Case, number, and gender are ubiquitous while definition is dropped in pronouns. The result is 108 permutations known to reduce grammatical functions thanks to a trio of particles (''i'', ''u'', and ''a'') specialized in capturing meaning. Vide: | |||
