Zazaki Notes: 24.942 Week 4

Zazaki Notes : 24.942 Week 4 About the idiosyncrasies of my glosses: 1. I have glossed the ezafe vowels that introduce possessors with EzP. I have not glossed ezafe vowels introducing adjectives. 2. I have glossed agreement marking on predicate adjectives and nominals (o, a, e) with the copular BE. I have done so under the hypothesis that the negative elements niyo, niya, niye are simply ne + o, a, e. I have glossed the past copula bi with BE.Pst. 3. I have glossed the two cases in Zazaki as absolutive (ez, t1, a ...) and oblique (m1, to, aE...). 4. I have tried to stay as close as possible to the Norvinnumbering of the examples for ease of comparison with your notes. 1 1 (14) N EGATION (1) čEnEkE r1ndEk-a ‘the girl is pretty’ (15) (2) čEnEkE r1ndEkE niya girl pretty not-BE.F ‘the girl is not pretty’ (16) Ez mal1m niyo I teacher not-BE.M ‘I am not a teacher’ (17) na saya that.F apple-BE.F ‘that is an apple’ [(3) is high-sounding.
