NOUN: noun
Definition
Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal or idea.
The NOUN tag is intended for common nouns only. See PROPN for proper nouns and PRON for pronouns.
Gender is not a category in Naga-Suansu. There are remnants of gender specification on two nouns, baneo “boy” and leneo “girl”. Given the exceptionality of these forms, we code the tokens as two distinct lemmas without including gender marking.
Nouns inflect for Number (zero marked singular and overt plural) and Case.
Nominalization is a very productive process in Naga-Suansu. Verbal nominalization with -e and -pha produce nouns (with VerbForm=Vnoun and Aspect feature), e.g. runge “say-NMLZ” (the saying). Clitic =di is a clausal nominalizer, see SCONJ.
