Evident: evidentiality
| Values: | Nfh |
Evidentiality is the morphological marking of a speaker’s source of information. Khoekhoe has a marking only for non-first-hand evidentiality, whereas first-hand evidentiality is unmarked.
In Khoekhoe it is an auxiliary feature, used for the auxiliary koma.
Nfh: non-firsthand
Note that there is no No value. If the clause does not have a non-first-hand evidential auxiliary, the Nfh feature will not be mentioned in the FEAT column. (Which means that empty values have the No meaning.)
Examples
