About Dzegedz
Direct-Inverse alignment, and comes with proximate-obviative morphosyntax as well.
Direct word order is OSV for monotransitive verbs, SVO for multitransitive verbs. Inverse word order is SOV for all transitive verbs. In questions, the word order OVS is used regardless of subject salience. Intransitive verbs use SV.
Agglutinative morphology for nouns & verbs. Verb table shows all suffixes.
Stress is dependent on the phoneme salience or prominence. (Will make an article on this)
Because there's no grammar form for Proximate and Obviative markings in the sense of grammatical person; Proximal and Obviative cases will be used to represent that.
