ABANYALA BA KAKAMEGA: Verbs in Olunyala (K)

 DICTIONARY OF OLUNYALA (K) - ENGLISH VERBS

ABSTRACT

Olunyala (K) is one of the more than  17 dialects of the Luyia language spoken in Western Kenya, East Africa (Angogo,  1980; Guthrie,  1967; Osogo, 1966). The purpose of this project article was to collect and document the Olunyala (K) Indigenous Verbs.

Verbs are doing words. In Olunyala (K), ‘to do’ is okhukhola. Therefore, a verb can be called ekholi (pl: amakholi).

 

ENTRIES IN OLUNYALA (K) VERB DICTIONARY

1.     The vowel length- Short and long vowel sounds are contrastive in verbs of Olunyala (K). Where there is an underlying long vowel it is represented by two similar vowels; otherwise, all other vowels will be written as single vowels.

 

2.     Entry of the verbs into the verb list- the verbs have been entered alphabetically in their infinitive form: <okhu+ Verb Root + FA>. This is because the infinitive is the best form for marking tone and for showing the basic tonal pattern of a verb. There is also a phonetic transcription of the infinitive of each of the verb.

 

3.    The narrow phonetic transcription- This has been made using IPA basing on the infinitive of the verb.

 

4.    Tone marking of the verbs- Olunyala (K) is a tonal language with verbs exhibiting contrastive tonal shift to mark various lexical items. The tone has not been marked for most of the verbs except for the selective tone marking on verb homographs based on tone.

 

5.     Verb conjugation due to affix agglutination- All Olunyala (K) verb conjugate to generate other verb forms to reflect different semantic elements of the verb. These may include the object marker, tense marker, subject marker, applicative marker, aspect marker, mood marker, negation marker, etiquette aspect emphasiser and place marker.
