| Citazioni | 'Secondary stems' are elements which are suffixes from a formal point of view, never appearing without the support of a true radical element, but whose function is as concrete [...] as that of the radical element itself. Secondary verb stems of this type are characteristic of the Algonkin languages and of Yana. |
