Inflectional fusion in the nominal paradigm (Synja Khanty)

ConcLin: The marking of case (and number) is exclusively concatenative, primarily with linear strategies.


(1a) xɔ̄t 

‘house


(1b) xɔ̄t-a

house-lat

‘in the house’


(2a) xɔ̄t-ət

house-pl

‘houses’


(2b) xɔ̄t-ət-a

house-pl-lat

‘in the houses’ (Onina 2009: 25)


In Synja Khanty, number and case categories are marked by suffixes.
