<div dir="ltr">Hi Florian,<div><br>I was expecting lots of offers over the past 16 hours, but none! In Bantu this is quite usual because clitics often combine noun class agreement with whatever the marker is--often fused. E.g. in Luganda the locative enclitic =kô 'on it, a little' consists of class 17 ku- and -o. The "connective" (associative, genitive) prefixes the noun class agreement to /-a/ (ebitabo byaa=Walúsimbi 'Walusimbi's books', from class 8 /bi-a/), and so forth. Several of the possessive pronoun enclitics are bisyllabic, e.g. class 8 byange = /bi-a-nge/ 'my', as in e-bi-déé =by-a-nge 'my cups' (where the enclitic saves the length of the root -déé 'bell(s)' from undergoing final vowel shortening.</div><div><br></div><div>There are lots of such examples in the following paper:</div><div><br></div><div>Hyman, Larry M. & Francis X.

I am looking for examples of morphologically complex clitics — i.e., g-words that a) do not form their own p-words and b) consist of multiple morphemes. Below are some of the few examples I have found. In (1-2), it is an encliticized copula which carries person
inflection. In (3), the verb complex consists of a finite verb, a converb, and an auxiliary, each their own g-word. Both the finite verb and the auxiliary are inflected for first person and therefore morphologically complex.</div>
