Paradigm

[edit]

Default headword paradigm for Akkadian adjectives

[edit]
  • PaRSum (feminine: PaRVStum, masculine plural: PaRSūtum, feminine plural: PaRSātum, predicative: PaRVS)

Where P-R-S represent R₁-R₂-R₃ of a typical Akkadian trisyllabic root, and V a vowel.

Details

[edit]
  1. Default V for adjective is /i/ (or /e/, in ajdectives that have /e/ instead of /a/):
  2. A minor number of adjectives have a different vowel, that will have to be specified as a parameter:
  3. Adjectives derived from stative verbs with identical R₂ and R₃ (of the form PaRRum) drop R₃ in the predicative and don't take any vowel in the feminine. They could be specified using a dash (-) in the vowel parameter:
  4. Some adjectives maintain their base form throughout the inflection:
    1. Adjectives derived from II-weak verbs (of the form PV̄Sum):
    2. Adjectives that don't syncopate V (often when R₃ is /r/).
  5. Adjectives derived from III-weak verbs (of the form PaRûm/PeRûm)):
    1. default V is /i/, but some can have /u/:
      • V = /i/
      rabûm > rabītum, rabûtum, rabiātum, rabi
      šemûm > šemītum, šemûtum, šemiātum, šemi
      • V = /u/
      zakûm > zakūtum, zakûtum, zakâtum, zaku

Standard sound changes before feminine marker -t

[edit]
  1. If R₃ = /n/, /d/ or /ṭ/ then R₃ = /t/:
  2. If R₃ = /s/, /ṣ/ or /z/ then R₃ = /š/:
