  abstract   = {The Natchez dependent verb has four principal parts or root shapes, which encode the number of that verb's subjects and objects. This system of root shapes is created by an abstract system of suffixation, the rules for which are complicated but completely regular. However, the occurrence of these principal parts in natural texts suggests that the semantics of the system are far more complex than previously understood, and that in addition to marking objects as singular and plural, the system also marks objects for dual number.
