A Grammar of Kab

Introduction

Scope and Purpose

This grammar provides a systematic description of the Kab language (the 1044th one produced by the Language Creator), outlining its sound system, word formation and syntactic structure, with the aim of presenting a coherent account of the language as an integrated whole. Attention has been paid to both regular patterns and minor irregularities, as these together define the internal balance of the language.

The grammar is accompanied by a bilingual dictionary and a collection of illustrative texts, offering material for further study and comparison. The examples have been selected to demonstrate typical constructions and to give a sense of the language in extended use. The description is intended as a reference work for linguists and language enthusiasts alike, and as a foundation for any future research, teaching or creative adaptation of Kab.

Stress and Tones

Kab has neither phonemic stress nor lexical tone. Prosodic prominence and pitch variation are determined by pragmatic and discourse factors rather than by lexical contrasts.

In the following, we shall look at the various components in more details.

There are no clitics in the nominal phrase.

The Noun

The noun in Kab consists of the root followed by an obligatory suffix expressing case, comprising -at /-at/ ‘NOM’, -yty /-ɨt͡ɕ/ ‘ERG’, -ysh /-ɨʃ/ ‘ACC’, -eñ /-əɲ/ ‘GEN’, -ygqu /-ɨkʼʷ/ ‘DAT’, -egk /-əkʼ/ ‘INS’, -egqu /-əkʼʷ/ ‘VOC’, -en /-ən/ ‘ALL’, -yngw /-ɨŋʷ/ ‘LOC’, -aqu /-akʷ/ ‘ABL’ and -yqu /-ɨkʷ/ ‘PART’.

Derivation

Kab has a few derivational processes. To illustrate this, let us start with a simple noun phrase:

quanẽẽñat kyngw

[kʷanə̃ːɲat kɨŋʷ]

kʷanə̃ːɲ
lamb
-at
NOM
kɨŋʷ
a

“a lamb”

(9)

In the following, the word for little becomes an affix attached to lamb:

[kʷanə̃ːɲakat kɨŋʷ]

kʷanə̃ːɲ
lamb
-ak

-at
NOM
kɨŋʷ

(10)

Compounding

Verbs

Inflectional Categories

The verbal phrase clitics in Kab fall into two categories, proclitics and enclitics: first, a clitic expressing mode, comprising nangw /naŋʷ/ ‘imperative’, ñas /ɲas/ ‘conditional’ and mygqu /mɨkʼʷ/ ‘optative’; second, a clitic expressing ta, comprising qeñ /ʔəɲ/ ‘PAST’; third, a clitic expressing voice, comprising gqua /kʼʷa/ ‘passive’; fourth, a clitic expressing negation, comprising syng /sɨŋ/ ‘NEG’; and finally, fifth, a clitic expressing question, comprising nagqu /nakʼʷ/ ‘Q’.

In addition, the verb is structured like this: the root followed by an obligatory suffix expressing comp, comprising -yp /-ɨp/ ‘not.COMP’ and -ach /-at͡ʃ/ ‘COMP’.

The verb displays the following derivational morphology: two suffixes, namely -am /-am/ ‘begin’ and -ygk /-ɨkʼ/ ‘stop’

Maqyp kek.

Syntax

Basic Clause Structure

Constituent Order

Constituent order describes the typical arrangement of the subject (S), verb (V) and object (O) in simple declarative clauses. It is a fundamental parameter in grammatical description and forms one of the clearest ways of characterising the overall structure of a language’s clause system.

Kab employs Subject–Verb–Object (SVO) as its basic word order. The subject is followed by the verb, with the object occurring in post-verbal position. This ordering is widely attested across the world’s languages.

The following examples illustrate the basic, unmarked, constituent order in Kab.

Qequaabbyty saigk qeñ tyaañyp shefechat saigk.

NOM
saikʼ
the

“The lion ate the hunter’s daughter’s dog.”

(16)

The language has a fixed constituent order, and major phrases normally appear in a predictable position in the clause. Movement for discourse reasons is highly restricted: topics and foci are expressed not by rearranging elements, but through dedicated constructions such as clefts, focus clauses or topic–comment frames. Constituents remain continuous, and both the relative order of phrases and the internal structure of each phrase are stable. As a result, significant deviations from the basic word order are ungrammatical, and discourse structure is managed through these specialised constructions rather than through word-order variation.

Noun Phrases

Structure and Order

The internal structure of noun phrases in Kab reveals typologically significant preferences in the ordering of nominal constituents. This includes the position of adjectives, numerals, and possessors relative to the noun, each of which can offer clues to the overall headedness of the language.

Possessive constructions are head-final: the possessor precedes the possessed noun. For example, Kab expresses “the child’s toy” with the equivalent of “child toy”. This ordering is found in many SOV and postpositional languages and aligns with a broader tendency towards modifier-first structures.

kek maicheñ saigk ngaaneñ saigk bbyykat saigk

(17)

Case Marking

Kab uses split case marking. In the present tense, the grammar follows a nominative–accusative pattern, where intransitive and transitive subjects are treated alike and objects are marked with the accusative. In the past tense, however, it follows an ergative–absolutive pattern, here called ergative–nominative, where intransitive subjects and transitive objects are treated alike and transitive subjects are marked with the ergative. This makes sense because present-tense clauses often describe events as ongoing, habitual or controlled by an active participant, so the grammar treats the subject as the central argument. Past-tense clauses, by contrast, often present an event as completed, making the affected participant especially salient. The ergative marking then singles out the transitive agent as the additional participant responsible for bringing about that result.

Modifiers and Determiners

The ordering of demonstratives, articles (if present), and other modifiers in Kab provides further insight into the structure of the noun phrase. These elements frequently exhibit fixed positions and may reveal whether the language favours head-initial or head-final patterns.

Complex Sentences

Relative Clauses

Kab forms relative clauses by using a head-internal strategy. The head noun appears inside the clause itself, occupying its regular syntactic position. The entire clause functions as a modifier, and its external syntactic behaviour is identical to that of a noun-modifying phrase.

To illustrate how relative clauses work, let us begin with a simple sentence:

Qeñ gkechysyp sainat saigk.

[ʔəɲ kʼət͡ʃɨsɨp sainat saikʼ]

ʔəɲ
PAST
kʼət͡ʃɨs
pat
-ɨp
not.COMP
sain
cat
-at
NOM
saikʼ
the

“I patted the cat.”

(23)

We can now add a relative clause modifying the noun:

Qeñ gkechysyp sainyty saigk qeñ quamach satyefat saigk.

[ʔəɲ kʼət͡ʃɨsɨp sainɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ kʷamat͡ʃ sat͡ɕəfat saikʼ]

ʔəɲ

PAST
kʷam
catch
-at͡ʃ
COMP
sat͡ɕəf
mouse
-at
NOM
saikʼ
the

“I patted the cat that caught the mouse.”

(24)

Relative clauses may themselves contain other relative clauses:

Qeñ gkechysyp sainyty saigk qeñ quamach satyefyty saigk qeñ nyñach ngatyeemat saigk.

[ʔəɲ kʼət͡ʃɨsɨp sainɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ kʷamat͡ʃ sat͡ɕəfɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ nɨɲat͡ʃ ŋat͡ɕəːmat saikʼ]

saikʼ

“I patted the cat that caught the mouse that ate the cheese.”

(25)

Finally, here is an example containing several layers of embedding:

Qeñ gkechysyp sainyty saigk qeñ quamach satyefyty saigk qeñ nyñach gkaagqu qeñ naqach ngatyeemat saigk.

[ʔəɲ kʼət͡ʃɨsɨp sainɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ kʷamat͡ʃ sat͡ɕəfɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ nɨɲat͡ʃ kʼaːkʼʷ ʔəɲ naʔat͡ʃ ŋat͡ɕəːmat saikʼ]

(26)

Complementation Strategies

Kab marks complement clauses with subordinating verbal morphology. The embedded verb is fully finite and carries a subordinating suffix that identifies the clause as a complement. No structural changes occur within the clause apart from this verbal marking.

The following example illustrate how complement clauses function:

Shaangwyty saigk qeñ kanach taigkygqu saigk ñapẽẽkat kyngw qeñ nachaanyp fycheesygqu saigk.

[ʃaːŋʷɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ kanat͡ʃ taikʼɨkʼʷ saikʼ ɲapə̃ːkat kɨŋʷ ʔəɲ nat͡ʃaːnɨp fɨt͡ʃəːsɨkʼʷ saikʼ]

“It surprised the teacher that the boy had given the girl an apple.”

(27)

Quotes

Kab expresses quoted or reported speech without a dedicated quotative particle. Quotations appear as ordinary clauses, distinguished only by the surrounding syntactic context or by the use of verbs of speaking.

Here is an example of how quotations are expressed:

Shaangwyty saigk qeñ quẽẽmyp taigkygqu saigk gkaagqu maqach kek.

[ʃaːŋʷɨt͡ɕ saikʼ ʔəɲ kʷə̃ːmɨp taikʼɨkʼʷ saikʼ kʼaːkʼʷ maʔat͡ʃ kək]
