Some grammatical aspects of Sherpa are as follows:
Nouns are defined by morphology when a bare noun occurs in the genitive and this extends to the noun phrase.[incomprehensible] They are defined syntactically by co-occurrence with the locative clitic and by their position in the noun phrase (NP) after demonstratives.
Demonstratives are defined syntactically by their position first in the NP directly before the noun.
Quantifiers: Number words occur last in the noun phrase with the exception of the definite article.
Adjectives occur after the noun in the NP and morphologically only take genitive marking when in construct with a noun.
Verbs may morphologically be distinguished by differing or suppletive roots for the perfective, imperfective, and imperative. They occur last in a clause before the verbal auxiliaries.
