Rel: relational

Values: Cont NCont Abs

Rel is a class of prefixes that combine with certain subclasses of roots. They are no longer productive. Rel=Cont and Rel=NCont occur with nouns, postpositions, and intransitive inactive verbs. They signal, respectively, the adjacency (contiguity) and non-adjacency (non-contiguity) of a head and its dependent, i.e., possessor-noun, object-postposition, and verb-subject. Rel=Abs is limited to nouns. It signals that the noun is used absolutely, i.e., it does not govern a genitive complement.

Cont: contiguous

Contiguity is associated with certain subclasses of nouns, verbs, and postpositions.

Examples

NCont: non-contiguous

Non-contiguity is associated with certain subclasses of nouns, verbs, and postpositions.

Examples

Abs: Absolute

Absolute is associated with certain subclasses of nouns, being phonetically empty (zero alomorph) in some cases.
