Sounds in loan words[edit]

The phonology section is explicit about the /h/ occurring only in a couple of loanwords, but it's unclear whether /t/ and /s/ are restricted to loanwords too, or whether they also occur in native words. The wording should be changed to clarify this. Also, it's not entirely clear what is mean by the statement that /t/ and /s/ were "originally" pronounced [ts].

Glossing needed[edit]

Grammatical markers, for example the ones for tense, or the object suffixes, should be glossed or otherwise described for their function. A prefix vi- is given, but its function is not explained. Kevinbaet (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possession[edit]

This section should be filled out with examples showing the difference between alienable and inalienable possession. Kevinbaet (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References needed[edit]

Several sections are completely without references. These should be added, especially where there are tags for "Citation needed". Kevinbaet (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
