Chlouvānem/Morphology: Difference between revisions

Chlouvānem has a fairly regular system of correlatives, distinguishing twelve types (proximal, medial, distal, main clause relative, relative clause relative, interrogative, negative, assertive existential, elective existential, universal, positive alternative, and negative alternative) in eleven categories (attributive, thing, person, time, place, destination, origin, way, reason, quality, quantity).
