Talk:Annotating Konkomba

On negative marking in Konkomba

Is there a grammatical term for a lexical entry made up of two different parts of speech fused together? Could we call it a 'negative conjunction', or is there a more technical term?

I would suggest to annotate kaa and baa as follows:

Kaa
Kaa
kaa
 NEG
CONJ
baa
baa
baa
3PLNEG
PN


At the point were TypeCraft will allow to record base forms of words and morphemes it will also be possible to add that k has the base form ki and b has the base form bi.
