This grammar book begins with a section on phonology (vowels, consonants,
accents). It is followed by a description of morphology (nominal: nouns,
adjectives, pronouns, numerals; verbal morphology). The syntax is presented
in the third section, in which noun phrase, clause structure, coordination,
subordination (especially relatives), negation, word order and discourse
related phenomena are described. The volume also contains a sample text
with interlinear transcription and translation and an ample bibliography.
