[Lingtyp] typology of verbalization / adjectivalization

[Jess Tauber]

In Yahgan (from Tierra del Fuego), most nominals are derived from verbs or
adjectives by addition of dedicated suffixes. But you can also create new
verbs by adding suffixes and/or voice prefixes to nominal or adjectival
stems. These processes are openly productive.

For example, you can take the noun/adj. root lvmbi (v stands for schwa)
'dark, black' and add the stative suffix -(v)na to create lvmbi:na 'be
black', or the former plus achievement suffix -(a)ta to make lvmbi:nata
'become black' (colon marks tenseness of the vowel preceding it). u:- is a
permissive-causative prefix, so u-lvmbi:-na 'let be black', u-lvmbi:-na-ta
'let become black'; tu- causative, so tu:-lvmbi:-na (make be black),
tu:-lvmbi:-na-ta (make become black), and so on.  Nominals are treated
identically to adjectives.
