The Kihema Syntax

Kihema is a symmetrical object language as post-verbal NPs are true primary objects.This means that in Kihema multiple post-verbal NPs may display 'primary object' syntactic properties, such as cliticisation, passivisability, extractability or relativisability. For example, cliticization, or object marking, takes place when primary objects are replaced by a corresponding clitic pronoun infix in the verbal complex, or "Object Clitic Pronoun" (OCP), while passivisability allows the object of an active sentence to become the subject of the corresponding passive sentence, and the subject optionally becomes the oblique PP introduced by the preposition na (the so-called by-phrase).
