also indicate plurality, as in the example of 'nanam kani' ('big tree') and 'nanam kanikani' ('big trees'), or 'maia' ('thing') and 'maiamaia' ('things'). Lastly, reduplication can signal the diminutive form of a word, as in the case of 'isav' ('hot') and '''isisav' ('warm'). Numeral quantifiers utilize a special case of reduplication. Complete reduplication of a number indicates something in succession ('iner' alone means 'two', but 'ineriner' means 'two by two'), while partial reduplication of a number acts as a multiplier (ininer' means 'double'). Stress Stress patterns are used to differentiate between 1st and 2nd person singular and plural inalienably possessed nouns. (Maia has some nouns that are inalienably possessed, which include body parts, kinship terms, and position nouns.) For example, ‘my skin’ is /i’ dia/, but ‘our skin’ is /’idia/ (p. 13). Agreement In transitive clauses, the verb must agree in both person and number with the object. In the following example, the verb for 'divide' must include the third-person-singular marker 'a' to indicate that it applies to a singular object in the third person (the pig):In intransitive clauses, the verb must agree in both person and number with the subject. The example below demonstrates that the verb for 'go' must be modified to indicate that it applies to a first-person plural subject:The non-derivational possessor affixes described above in this section also agree in person and number with the noun they describe. Syntax Basic Word Order Transitive Clauses The basic word order of Maia is SOV for transitive clauses, as illustrated by the transitive sentence example below: Intransitive Clauses The basic word order is SV for intransitive clauses: Ditransitive Clauses For clauses that have both an indirect object and a direct object, the indirect object typically comes before the direct object. The following example, in which 'Kunia' is the indirect object and 'plate' is the direct object, illustrates this: Core Phrase Types Verb + Object Phrase The verb phrase in the example above illustrates that the verb + object phrase in Maia is head final, as the verb 'chase' comes after the object 'pig'. Determiner + Noun Phrase The example above also demonstrates that the determiner+noun phrase is also head final, as the determiner ono ('that') comes after its complement kani'' ('pig'). Possessee + Possessor Phrase The possessee+possessor phrase is also head final, as the possessee 'garden' comes after the possessor 'Mamudia': Complementizer/Subordinator + Clause Phrase An exception is the
