UNINFLECTED WORDS 



Included in the major class of uninflected words are those which 

 express a wide variety of functions and exhibit a considerable number 

 of derivational formations. A division of these words into function 

 classes will be outlined in the section to follow, although a full descrip- 

 tion of syntactic function will be reserved for the chapter on syntax. 

 Subclasses based on derivational formations wiU be described under 

 "Derivation." 



Uninflected words belong to one of the following function classes 

 depending on their grammatical function: 



Referentials. — ^All uninflected words, with the exception of pronouns, 

 that may alone fill a subject or an object slot are referentials. These 

 are, in general, nounUke words such as names of beings, things, and 

 places. 



Pronouns. — ^This is a class of rather limited membership comparable 

 to English pronouns. The most commonly occurring members of 

 this class are: 



hfnu /, we we that one (inobviate) 



hisv you mf-ga another one 



du this one ?IskA one
