Section 30. SUPPLEMENT.
I. CERTAIN CLASSES OF WO It IIS. In Vol. I it is tried to explain
how, strictly spoken. the language may be said to consist only of
nouns and verbs. As the only exceptions may be considered the
interjections, some words classed as ,,particular nouns", and the
,,particles", the latter apparently rudimentary nouns or verbs, which
have lost their flexion. How the other classes of words from our
European languages are represented in Greenlandic, will be found
occasionally indicated in the present vocabulary, thus especially: the
articles as rendered by flexion, the adjectives by nouns and verbs;
the latter most strictly in the shape of the ,,nominal participle",
pronouns almost only by flexional endings. The adverbs,
prepositions and conjunctions may in some cases be translated by the said
particles; but they are by far more generally comprised in the
flexion of nouns and verbs and in the formation of these words out
of their elements, the stemwords and affixes.
• As a supplement, the rendering of the following words in
Greenlandic may still be added:
PRONOUNS.
The possessive Pr. , by flexion or transposition (see S. 1 and
Vol. Ij. The relative Pr., by the affixes toq or ssoq (nominal part.),
