--2 Parameters 
--
-- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.

oper
  Animacy : Type ; 

  animate   : Animacy ;
  inanimate : Animacy ;

-- To abstract over number names, we define the following.

  Number : Type ; 

  singular : Number ;
  plural   : Number ;

-- To abstract over case names, we define the following.

  Case : Type ;

  nominative : Case ;
  locative   : Case ;

-- To abstract over nounclass names, we define the following.
  
  Gender : Type ;

   m_wa :Gender ;
   m_mi : Gender ;
   ji_ma : Gender ;
   e_ma : Gender ;
   ma_ma : Gender ;
   ki_vi : Gender ;
   e_e : Gender ;
   u_u : Gender ;
   u_ma : Gender ;
   u_e : Gender ;

 

--2 Nouns

-- Worst case: give all four forms and the semantic gender.

  mkN  : (mtu,watu : Str) -> Gender -> Animacy -> N ;

-- The regular function captures the variants for nouns depending on Gender and Number

  regN : Str -> Gender -> Animacy -> N ;

-- In practice the worst case is just: give singular and plural nominative.


  mk2N : (mtu , watu : Str) -> Gender -> Animacy -> N ;
  mk2N x y g anim = mkNounIrreg x y g anim ** {lock_N = <>};

  mkN2 : N -> Prep -> N2 ;
  mkN2  : N -> Prep -> N2 = \n,p -> n ** {c2 = p.s ; lock_N2 = <>} ;

  mkPrep : Str -> Prep ;
--  mkPrep p = {s = p ; c = CPrep PNul ; isDir = False ; lock_Prep = <>} ;
  mkPrep p = {s = p ; lock_Prep = <>} ;


--3 Relational nouns 
-- 
-- Relational nouns ("fille de x") need a case and a preposition. 

-- All nouns created by the previous functions are marked as
-- $nonhuman$. If you want a $human$ noun, wrap it with the following
-- function:

--  genderN : Gender -> N -> N ; 

-- For regular adjectives, the adverbial form is derived. This holds
-- even for cases with the variation "happy - happily".

   regA : Str -> A ;

-- If comparison is formed by "kuliko", as usual in Swahili,
-- the following pattern is used:

 compADeg : A -> A ;

--2 Definitions of paradigms
--
-- The definitions should not bother the user of the API. So they are
-- hidden from the document.
