Translation
Coalescences on ending phonemes
edit- There are two parts in coalescence 1 vowels and 2 consonants based on thirty three phonemes, twenty two word-beginnings and * twenty four word-endings. 104/1
- Of those the consonant-endings will have dots in written form. 105/2
- Shortened [u] also has the same (a dot on the top of the letter). 106/3
- Endings of vowel-consonants are considered as vowel-endings. 107/4
Coalescences, basic norms
edit- Preceding-word and succeeding-word are the two parts of coalescences. Vowel after vowel, consonant after vowel, vowel after consonant and consonant after consonant are the structural-categories in compounding words. 108/5
- Name after name, name after verb, verb after name and verb after verb are the functional-categories are also considered in word-compounds. 109/6
- Transformation, appearance and disappearance are the three aspects happen in changing-coalescences. (Non-changing aspect also falls on in coalescence.) 110/7
- Even if the proceeding and succeeding words appear with attribution are eligible to compound. 111/8
- Usages of expression-corrupt or contracted-usages are also eligible to compound. 112/9
- Case-blending and non-case-blending are the two categories in sense-coalescence. Phoneme and morpheme appear between two parts. 113/10
Case-morphemes
edit- The six ‘ai’, ‘aal’, ‘ku, ‘in’, ‘athu’ and ‘kan’’ are case-morphemes (number 2 to 6). 114/11
- Consonant doubles before case-morphemes with hard-consonant beginning. 115/12
- The beginning phoneme of the sixth case morpheme ‘athu’ disappears in some cases. 116/13
- Case-morphemes are added after nouns. 117/14
- Names are two kinds: 1 human class and 2 non-human classes. 118/15
- Empty-morphemes come between noun and case-morphemes. 119/16
Empty-morphemes
edit- There are some empty-morphemes to be pointed out: [in], [var’r’u], [aththu], [am], [on], [aan], [akku], [ikku], [an] etc. 120/17
- Empty-morpheme [in] elides its initial phoneme, between the noun ‘aa’ (meaning cow) and case-morpheme. 121/18
- After eliding, the remaining phoneme changes its form, to [r’] ([in] > [n] <> [r’]) between numerals and names of measurements. 122/19
- The empty morpheme [var’r’u] elids its initial consonant [v] (and stands as [ar’r’u]) between demonstrative phonemes and case morphemes. 123/20
- Eliding morpheme [n] changes its forms to [r’] before fourth case morpheme ([ku]). 124/21
- Empty morpheme [aan] stand and change as above after a day’s name of a star with ending phoneme [ai]. 125/22
- Empty morpheme [aththu] elides its initial phoneme. 126/23
- Empty morpheme [ikku] elides its initial phoneme. 127/24
- It happens after a month’s name ending with the phoneme [i]. 128/25
- It happens even after a month’s name ending with the phoneme [ai] 129/26
- Empty morpheme [am] changes its ending phoneme to [ng], [nj] and [n”] before the words having initial phoneme of [k], [s] and [th] respectively. 130/27
- Empty morpheme [am] elides its ending phoneme before soft and medial consonants. 131/28
- Before the case morpheme [in] the empty morpheme [in] disappears. 132/29
- Before the case morpheme [odu], the empty morphemes either appear or disappear. 133/30
- Morpheme [aththu] and [var’r’u] elide their initial portion leaving the ending vowel-consonant phoneme and coalescence with an additional phoneme corresponding to the succeeding word. 134/31
- Empty morphemes to phonemes are: [kaaram], [karam] and [kaan]. 135/32
- Among them, long-vowels do not accept [karam] and [kaan]. 136/33
- Short-vowels accept all the three. 137/34
- Vowels [ai] and [au] accept only the empty morpheme [kaan]. 138/35
- Ending consonant in the preceding word do not stand in its form before the word having vowel initial. It blend into one letter (vowel-consonant) 139/36
- When we separate both come into their original form. 140/37
- Intrusive consonant appears between the vowel ending word and vowel initial word. 141/38
- Word of coalescence separated according to the reader’s views. 142/39
- They cannot be defined in structural coalescence as they are depending on thought. 143/40
