Abstract | Rana Tharu presents some interesting cases of verb agreement. Like other Indo-Aryan neighbours, the verb is marked for agreement with one nominal phrase in a clause. The verb encodes the information, such as person, number, gender and honorificity of the subject. The transitive verbs are marked distinctly only if the subjects are the third person pronouns or noun phrases (NPs) in the past tense. |
