Add new etymologies to 100 old words; add some folk etymologies as well


Create 5 new idioms

Add more polysemes
I've added quite a few, but I didn't keep track of how many.


Perfect the antipassive voice
Create 5 irregular or defective verbs

irregular:
zeeyorá - spray
so tsyal zalteey - spit on something

defective:
kxatumeey - go on land: rare in the first person and only used to refer to the recent past.
yoneeya - to be necessary: only used to refer to the present.
lxá - stop: only found in the imperative form.

Perfect pronouns as verbs

Add anticausatives


Add 2 words that have some kind of asymmetry: words that don't fully pluralize or mean something else when plural, etc
1. lošee - taxes; plural of loša "money"
2. bwolilwo'a - a small dog or a pack of small dogs; dual form of bwolilwo "shin"

Add traces of a case system

[edit] [top]Complete

Everything is always a work in progress, but I have completed these:
- created 5 irregular or defective verbs
- added 2 words that have some kind of asymmetry
- antipassive voice
- anticausatives
- experiencer and stimulus forms now make more sense and make use of the under-utilized emotion signifiers
- 5 new idioms!
