Unconventional word-endings attract some agglutinative word stems - Arichichi - 09-03-2023
Hello, here is data based on the ranking of usage of word-endings in the manuscript and their relative ranks based on whether they end a line, or end a word mid-line.
Quote:-sama (EVA -dy) ranks first as word ending, and first as line ending
-nero (EVA -aiin) ranks second as word ending, and third as line ending
-nese (EVA -am) ranks 20th as word ending, and second as line ending. In fact, it appears 178 times in the middle of a line, and 424 times at the end of a line.
-neme (EVA -al) ranks 7th as word ending, and 4th as line ending. In fact, it appears 1588 times in the middle of a line, and 213 times at the end of a line
-nehe (EVA -ar) ranks 5th as word ending, and 5th as line ending. In fact, it appears 2052 times in the middle of a line, and 170 times at the end of a line
-rame (EVA -ol) ranks 4th as word ending, and 6th as line ending. In fact, it appears 3008 times in the middle of a line, and 167 times at the end of a line
-mema (EVA -ly) ranks 19th as word ending, and 7th as line ending. In fact, it appears 187 times in the middle of a line, and 134 times at the end of a line
-hema (EVA -ry) ranks 27th as word ending, and 8th as line ending. In fact, it appears 85 times in the middle of a line, and 102 times at the end of a line
-tema (EVA -ky) ranks 9th as word ending, and 9th as line ending. In fact, it appears 507 times in the middle of a line, and 100 times at the end of a line
-nama (EVA -ey) ranks 3rd as word ending, and 10th as line ending. In fact, it appears 3280 times in the middle of a line, and 100 times at the end of a line
-rahe (EVA -or) ranks 6th as word ending, and 11th as line ending. In fact, it appears 1763 times in the middle of a line, and 81 times at the end of a line
-tima (EVA -ty) ranks 15th as word ending, and 12th as line ending. In fact, it appears 298 times in the middle of a line, and 68 times at the end of a line
My observations:
EVA endings “am”, “ly”, “ry”, “ty” seem to finish ideas.
EVA endings “ol”, “ey”, “or” seem to be mid-idea.
But if we want to be accurate, maybe we should consider EVA ending “ey” as an outlier and correct our assumption. Thus, character “y” should be seen as a punctuating character, while characters “ol” and “or” as grammatical cases of mid-sentence meanings. Probably, instead of grammatical case, one should see them as maybe a number ending for singular and plural. If “ol” and “or” stand for plural and singular, or some similar feature, the stem of the words ending in “ol” and “or” should appear irrespective of how the word ends, which we definitely see in the manuscript, and the 19 most common word stems using “or” use “ol” more often systematically. If plural/singular meaning should be attached to “or” and “ol”, one should explore, for those 19 most common word stems the other endings that appear systematically. Within these 19 most common word stems for the endings “or” and “ol”, “ol” ranks second as a word ending, and “or” ranks seventh as a word ending.
The systematic use of word finals that come seventh or earlier in the list with the word stems that we are considering here is pretty noteworthy.
Thus, the word endings come in the following order:
Quote:-nero (EVA -aiin) comes 1st with the 19 words, and comes 2nd globally
-rame (EVA -ol) comes 2nd with the 19 words, and comes 4th globally
-nama (EVA -ey) comes 3rd with the 19 words, and comes 3rd globally
-sama (EVA -dy) comes 4th with the 19 words, and comes 1st globally
-nehe (EVA -ar) comes 5th with the 19 words, and comes 5th globally
-neme (EVA -al) comes 6th with the 19 words, and comes 7th globally
-rahe (EVA -or) comes 7th with the 19 words, and comes 6th globally
When it comes to word structure of the stems that constitute the relationship, we can extend the 19 most common word stems list to 22 thus obtaining the following regular expressions
word_stem=((rat)|(tarat))((e)|(ena)|(i)|(ina)|(enana))
The preceding regular expression covers 10 cases
We also have ta, te, ti, di, tena. (case_2)
We also have sa, ha, he, as well as nu, nuna, no, nona.
If necessary, I will provide EVA correspondence with these word structures. From word_stem + case_2 at least, we get the following EVA list:
Quote:ta- (EVA q-)
te- (EVA k-)
rate- (EVA ok-)
tarate- (EVA qok-)
tena- (EVA ke-)
ratena- (EVA oke-)
taratena- (EVA qoke-)
ratenana- (EVA okee-)
taratenana- (EVA qokee-)
di- (EVA cth-)
ti- (EVA t-)
rati- (EVA ot-)
tarati- (EVA qot-)
ratina- (EVA ote-)
taratina- (EVA qote-)
