Bill Poser seems to regard the Athabascan* verbs as polysynthetic, but I
believe they don't incorporate nominal roots as in the examples above
though their morphology certainly does refer to both subject and object
arguments.
*I reject both the US spelling 'Athabaskan' and the Canadian 'Athapaskan'
as silly attempts at a "technical" linguistic spelling of a name clearly
based on the geographically established spelling '(Lake) Athabasca'.

<pre wrap="">thanks Bill,
why have a powerful lookup tool when the operations which emulate the
rules of the grammar are non-transparent to the dictionary user? or is
this again a wrong impression? i mean this as a harmless question as i
am just curious. though i am no computational linguist, i would like
to "model" nez perce verb morphology someday as i think i am getting
closer to the core issues relating to the "rules" of composition and
concatenation. however, in the nez perce scheme of things (i.e
polysynthesis: fusional) the morphology is tends to be more about the
syntax-semantic interface, not to mention the input-output to
phonological being just as complex if not more so. the classic
polysynthetic mohawk model of noun-incorporation (via Baker) just does
not work for nez perce.
qó'c (later)
