	Verbs are possibly the most important class of words in Sangi. As their conjugation includes different endings for the subject, object and secondary objects, it is possible to drop all pronouns used in a sentence and the sentence will remain perfectly intelligible. This means that the verb is the only part of a sentence truly necessary for a sentence to be considered complete.		Verbs are possibly the most important class of words in Sangi.

	Nouns are nowhere near as complicated, in terms of structure, verbs are, but the number of suffixes available to choose from for certain slots is much higher. They also have a complex set of phonological rules through which number and case are defined. Full use of all slots leads to a number of forms for each noun exceeding fifty-four thousand, more specifically the full number of forms is 54,181. All consonantal suffixes which follow a consonant which do not become geminate or which would change the sound of the suffix itself have an epenthetic schwa placed before it, e.g. top-ma>tomma, toc-ca>tocca, but tob-ca> tobica, not "tobga".

	Sangi adjectives decline similarly to nouns, but for less cases and no number. They have, however, a complex system of comparison and the ability to carry demonstrative and indefinite suffixes in place of the pronouns themselves. With adjectives not declining for cases such as possessive and the like, the total forms available to an adjective tally up to 155 different forms.

Phonological Processes at Morpheme Boundaries

Line 171:		Line 171:
	The changes which a sound is subject to are dependent (usually) on its position in the word and the surrounding sounds. There are several exceptions to the position rule, especially governing final "t" and CC and VC clusters involving a final "t".

	As part of the nature of the phonology of the language only voiceless consonants (~~includding~~ clusters) and the ~~“r”, “l”, “n” and “m”~~ can occur at the ends of words. If a voiced consonant, a voiced-final consonant cluster or a geminate cluster occurs, then ~~the letter~~ “-i” is placed after ~~them~~, although in most spoken cases, the final voiced consonant remains without a final -i if the next word begins with a vowel or the same voiced consonant and in some cases the final voiced consonant is instead devoiced, like in German. So a word like "ed-" (meaning "edge") would be written "edi" or "ed'" depending on the next word but pronounced either as "edi", "ed" or "et" while some dialects will allow even more ways to pronounce the final "d".

	When one sound occurs next to another at morpheme boundaries certain sound changes may occur, such as gemination, assimilation and even unexpected forms and combination results. There are only a few sounds which are immune from these processes, but most sounds in Sangi must undergo them.
