However, there is also considerable innovation in adjoined relative clauses, a shift from number to aspect marking traced by <em>T/K</em> morphology, and other changes in the order and meaning of affixes. These developments show a unique trend of concretization of core clause constituents, and internal growth in the complexity of verbs in isolation from other languages. On the other hand, Ama’s stable distributive pluractional represents a wider Eastern Sudanic category. The late loss of pronominal subject marking supports a hypothesis that the Ama language was used for inter-group communication with Kordofan Nubians.</p></div><footer><a class=logolink title="built by Sandpoints" href=https://sandpoints.org><div class=sandpointlogo><span class=sandpointF>ß</span>
