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
Contiguity is more often associated with the null morpheme or with “r”.
Examples
- ywyok r-ehe “on/against the wall”
NCont: non-contiguous
Non-contiguity is more often associated with the morphemes “i” and “h”.
Examples
-
i-hɨ “He has a mother / there is his/her/their mother”
-
h-emi-r-eko “there is her/his/its/their wife”
Abs: absolute
The absolute relational indicates that the possessor is inalienably possessed. It is associated with the morpheme “t”.
Examples
- t-u “ (someone’s) father”
Corf: correferential
The correferential relational indicates that the possessor is the same as the subject of the sentence. It is associated with the morpheme “u”.
Examples
- u-hɨ “Her/his/their own mother”
