It is a member of the Nambu subgroup of the Yam family of languages (also known as the Morehead-Upper Maro family). This grammar is the first published comprehensive description of a language in this subgroup. Nama has an interesting complex morphology with 21 nominal suffixes (17 case-marking) and 31 verbal prefixes and suffixes, indexing arguments (person\/number) and indicating tense (current, recent, remote) and aspect (perfective\/imperfective, inceptive, punctual, delimited, durative). Nama also has some linguistic features that are either very rare or not attested in other languages. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45866044194967,"sku":"9783112215081","price":1641.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783112215081.webp?v=1768604134","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-nama-a-papuan-language-of-southern-new-guinea-9783112215081","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
