Grammar notes
Basic clause structure and the transitive construction
Case marking displays the ergative-nominative alignment. In the basic transitive construction, the A-argument is in the ergative, and the P-argument, in the (unmarked) nominative.
The verb takes gender-number prefixes agreeing with the S/P argument in the nominative. These gender-number agreement prefixes can be word-initial but are more often found after deictic preverbs, as well as after the negation prefix in some forms.
Case system
Myukhrek Rutul is underdescribed. Probably, there is a total of 17 (or 18?) case forms as in the Mukhad dialect. However, in the dataset below only 15 cases are used, plus some combinations of the attributive (alias genitive) case with a postposition.
Verb lemmas
Verbs are cited by their masdar form, based on the perfective stem, with IV class agreement.
