| Values: | Cont | NCont | Abs |
Rel is a morpheme that combines with lexical roots and postpositions. They signalize the
adjacency or contiguity (Rel=Cont) and non-adjacency or non-contiguity of head and depenent,
e.g., possessor-noun, object-postposition.
Cont: contiguous
The relational of conitguity signalizes the adjacency of the head and its dependent. There are many hints which indicate that this grammatical feature is loosing its function in Tekó.
In Tekó, Cont is expressed with a morpheme re- (used before a word with an initial consonant and before a word beginning with the vowel /i/), n- (in front of the roots that carry the nasal feature), r- (in the rest of the cases).
Examples
- awakʷəraraʔɨr okero oibarehe “The little boy sleeps with his pet.”
- dereibawesipo eremenõɲ ? “Are you really sleeping with your beast?”
NCont: non-contiguous
