:''‘Why | :''‘Why do you recommend the glossing transcription gmi̯{{TrSep}}t find:INF instead of gmi̯-t find-INF?’'' | ||
: | :The gloss gmi̯-t find-INF might make the reader understand that gm alone is an unmarked stem for ‘find’ and that -t is the only feature that marks the infinitive (INF). This however is not the case. The feature INF is distributed across the whole word. Indeed, INF equals /_ī_it/ in verbs ''IIIae inf.'' like gmi̯ and /_a_a_/ in strong 3rad verbs like sḏm. By keeping the ‘.’, we want to make clear that the feature INF is not solely present in the -t. This remark is relevant for most of the other verbal and de-verbal forms. | ||
