A preliminary statement of Witu grammar: the syntatic role and structure of the verb

Abstract

The following grammatical description of Witu adheres to no particular descriptive model. It is essentially a working analysis aiming to consolidate information already gained as a stepping stone to further insights into the grammatical structure of the language. It is particularly concerned with verbal constructions. Nominal constructions are less structured than verbal constructions and reveal relatively little significance to an interpretation of clause and sentence patterns.
