[Lingtyp] Demonstratives as nominalizers

[Cat Butz]

Dear Zahid,

Dalkalaen '=an/en' occurs as a nominalizer most of the time, but also 
occurs with nouns. I'm not yet sure what its exact function in those 
cases is; it's probably not a demonstrative, so it's probably not 
exactly what you're looking for, but I thought I'd mention it 
nonetheless. Kilu von Prince, my supervisor, has suggested "DEF" as a 
gloss, which seems fine to me so far.

Warmest,
