Editing Omotic languages (section)

===General===
The Omotic languages have a morphology that is partly [[agglutinative]] and partly [[fusional]]:
* Agglutinating: Yem ''am-se-f-∅-à'' go+plural+present+3. Person+Femininum “they go”<ref>Mammo Girma: ''Yemsa Verb Morphology. Some Inflections and Derivations.'' 1986, quoted from {{harvnb|Bender|2000|p=120}}; Clay marking according to the different forms in {{harvnb|Lamberti|1993|p=190}}</ref>
* Fusional: Aari ''ʔíts-eka'' eat+3. Person Pl. [[Converb]] “by eating”<ref>{{harvnb|Hayward|1990}} quoted in {{harvnb|Bender|2000|p=171}}</ref>
[[Inflection]] through [[Suprafix|suprasegmental morphemes]] is found in individual languages such as Dizi and Bench; Historically, these are partly reflexes of [[affixes]]: 
* Bench ''sum˩'' "name", ''sum-s˦'' "to name"
The [[Nominal (linguistics)|nominal morphology]] is based on a [[nominative]]-[[accusative]]-[[absolutive]] system; for [[verbal morphology]], a complex inflection according to categories such as [[Grammatical tense|tense]]/[[aspect (linguistics)|aspect]], interrogative/declarative, and affirmative/negative, as well as [[agreement (linguistics)|agreement]], is more predicative, characterizing forms with the [[subject (grammar)|subject]]. In syntax, the word order [[subject-object-verb]] (SOV) is generally valid; [[postposition]]s are used, which can be considered typical for both SOV languages in general and for the Ethiopian region.
